My darling Grace,

Another day has passed still no word from you.  It seems so long ago that last I heard from you.  Gee I miss your letters very much.  I look forward till the morrow cause then the mail call might bring me some mail from you.

Dad's mother, Bessie and his older brother, Chester

I received a letter now from my oldest brother, he is in France now and is still OK.  I figure your brother should be there also.  I also received a letter from a girl I have been writing to in Dubuque, Iowa.

Mom's brother WR in 1963 when he had come home for the youngest brother's funeral, Warren Earl.  He was the first fire fighter killed in the LA Watts riots.

Gee honey every day the war news gets better and better.  It looks like it soon will be over in Germany.  I hope so and then all we have to do is whip the Japs and then I'll be coming home to you.  Well that is if you want me.

Remember my telling you last night I was going to go and see the show "A Guy Named Joe?"  I saw instead "Last Plane from Chungking."  It wasn't so very good.  It was one of those 3rd class pictures.

Today at the show is playing "Song of Bernadette."  I saw that picture back in the states.  I really did like it.  Did you see it?

Gee darling I don't know what to say.  I haven't heard from you and so maybe your feelings for me have changed.  My feeling toward you are still the same.

I think I'll close now honey so till tomorrow I remain yours always,
Love
Ray
