Sunday
India

My dearest darling,

I am at this time answering your letter that was written on the 14th of July (my brother's birthday) and I must say it sure was good to hear from you again.  I haven't heard from you for a few days, I was beginning to worry.

I'll never forget the evening I met you.  It made my stay and trip to Ft. Worth profitable cause I met you. I should like to be back there again and see you.

I was sorry to hear your brother did not get the service he wanted, but I know that whatever service you are in or no matter what branch it is a person gets to be very proud of his outfit.

Although today was Sunday it did not mean it was a day of rest.  We had to work.  I don't mind working cause there is nothing else to do.  I missed church today and I know I shouldn't have.  I would have gone if I didn't have to work.

Last night I went to a show and I saw two pretty old pictures.  The names of the pictures were "Yank Ahoy" and "McGuerin from Brooklyn."  They were two very comical pictures. I really enjoyed them.

I figure you should be in Ft. Worth until the last of August so about the 20th of I shall again address your mail to Matador.

As you know this is the Monsoon season in India so again today it's been raining.

For dinner today we had "Roast Chicken" mashed potatoes, corn, string beans, tomatoes, canned cherries and iced tea.  It sure was a good dinner.

I still have not had the chance to go to town so I do not know what it is like.  I heard it is not so very hot.

Darling, I never received that candy you made.  I figure it might have got lost because I've had so many changes of address.  So when you are making some more candy or cookies for W.R. please send me some.  I sure do miss your home made candy & cookies.

Well, darling, I guess I'll close with all my love to my one and only.  Here's some kisses.  I can't put any x's, the cursor wouldn't pass it.  But you know they are enclosed.

Love,
Ray
