1 Somewhere in France, Jan. 30, '18

Dear Sweetheart.

I wonder if you think I am lost. Well dear, I am well and feeling fine and hope you are the same. I have been wondering if you stopped writing to me when you do not receive any more letters from me. The last letter I received from you was written on Dec. 11 and I received it on Jan 13. When my letters stopped did you think I forgot about you? Well dear, don't you ever think so, for I have not and miss you more every day. You do not know how I long to be back with you in dear old S.F. Gee, but I am lonesome away
