Mother had her leg cut off a month yesterday. Had a nice time at your mother’s the other night. Glad you’re coming home; seems like long time since I’ve seen you. Buses & street cars on strike now. When you come home we can go see your ring. War going good now, so you’ll soon be home with me, ha ha. Love you plenty, think you’re the nicest fellow; going to be real pretty when you come home & wear things you like.

Heat about to get me down; don’t know if I can stand it 2 more months. Hope someday we’ll have a little home; never again an apartment for me. When you come home I hope we can go somewhere and be alone for a while, so I can put my arms around you & lay close to you. Went down to see our rings but block was out [?] Are you glad you’re coming home over July 4? Will have been about 6 wks since I’ve seen you. I’m working plenty hard these days but not for long.
