Hello Honey,
Just a couple of lines to let you know when my leave starts and when I will be home.
Leave starts at four o'clock Wednesday the 16th in the afternoon. The plane leaves at six (two hours later) and will land at Willow Run at 10:30 in the same evening. I tried to get a train but their schedules are so fouled up it would take about 30 to 40 hours to get home.
This is the first time I've ever looked forward to coming home. The other times I would just as soon go somewhere else as long as I was getting away from the ship. But this time is different.
Well Doll, I might as well sign off.
I love you, honey, and in four days I'll show you how much.
