Dear Darling,

Not much so I do not know just what to say.  This is one think I want to say and you heard it plenty of times before.  "I sure do miss you."

Today and yesterday have been pretty cool days.  We have had a little rain.  About 2 to 3 ft deep in certain spots.  Our tint was not washed out, although there were plenty that did.

I've been pretty busy yesterday so I was not able to write.  I'm sorry.  I wasn't able to leave camp to go to town.  So I haven't had a picture taken yet.  I'll send you a picture as soon as possible.

I haven't received any letters from you lately, the last 3 or 4 days I mean, so I just can't find anything to write. Guess I'll close with oceans of love and a kiss on every wave.

Love always,
Ray

PS  Sorry this only a short note.  Will write more as I can.
