back to S.F. I guess you have been wondering where I am all this time. Well I am safe and feeling fine but often get that home sick feeling. Longing to be near you and home. Dear I hope you have not forgotten me and think of me once in a while. I often read your letters and they are a comfort to me and I nearly know them by heart.

I often lay and dream of the nights on Clayton and California Sts and we used to run for the last boat in Sausalito. Do you ever look back to those days and the times we used to have? Well darling I hope that you are well and happy and will write me a nice long letter in reply to my short one and tell me about the times you are having so I can imagine that I am there I guess you can just about imagine me so far away from you wishing I was back home. Well dear I would like to write more but that is impossible, so I will close hoping to hear from you soon. With much love and many kisses from your own true sweetheart Somewhere in France. Hienie
