Notes

Text: June 15, 1943. Dear Mary, I’m going to have to make this short to get it in the mail. We’ve been so busy the last two days I haven’t had a chance to even think, and I’m not kidding. I tried to call you Sun. But there was a six hour delay so I couldn’t make it. I’ll try sometime in the future. I’ve been made acting corpral [sic] of the first squad. Which meets after basic training I have a good chance of being a Non Commissioned officer. I’ll write you more later this evening when I have more time. I just wanted to remind you how much I’m in love with you. Until later — With all my Love, Harold.
