"My Sweetheart"

Just received your letters dated Oct. 16 and Nov. 15 also postal card. You poor dear, no wonder you haven't heard from me. I just rec-eived several return letters that I addressed to Long Beach, not knowing you had moved, and they came back "unclaimed." Honey [underlined], your boy is thinking of you continually these days. He's got your picture before him now and can see in your beautiful smiling face what a wonderful girl you are and it makes his heart skip a beat when he thinks of the time when he will be able to see her again. "Snookums" you had better get all rested up for I'm coming back with so much saved up love that I'll just naturally love
