My darling,

Another day is drawing to an end.  I have not received any mail now for about one week.  It seems more like a month.  Days seem to pass quickly but the don't seem to pass quick enought, it seems oh so very long before I'll get to see you.  Instead of being here writing to you I wish I was with you.  I'd have so much to tell you that I just can't put down on paper.

It was just another day of work for me.  Same old routine.  Day in and day out.  This evening I wet to the show with a buddy of mine who helps me eat your candy.  He wants to know when I will get some more, and I said as soon as I get the sugar.  Now to get back to the show.  I saw the picture "A Night at Earl Carroll's."  It was a pretty good musical and had a lot of pretty girls.  Seeing that picture only made me want to be with you.

Well darling I guess you have started college all ready.  Give me the low down.  How do you like it?  Is it a lot of fun living in a dormitory etc.?

Honey I haven't got any more to say only that I sure do miss you.

yours always,
Ray
