H & S Co, 136th Med Regt Camp Claiborne, La June 30, 1941. My dearest: Just a few lines to let you know I am thinking of you. Your good letter of June 27th came this morning and you can't imagine how very much it peps a fellow up to get a letter. I've read it about a dozen times. Honey, its too bad you work until you're all tired out. Don't do it! Do what you can without wearing yourself out and then stop. There will always be a tomorrow and if there isn't, then its no use worrying about it, anyway. So Miss Aberle sold out, did she? I hope she got a good price. Ray Eichenauer, who goes with Fernie Miller, who has been working for Miss A. told me Fernie was going to quit and start working for Margaret Brockhagen Monday. I think that must have been today. Gee, I hate to think you have to waste one of our afternoons already - working on Mary H. Why can't she come the following week? If you were down here, you could't give it to her, could you? Now, don't start giving your vacation time away. If you do, I won't come home any more and you'll have to come down here where they will leave you alone. Just plainly tell them you are taking your vacation then and will be out of town and are sorry but you can't do it for them then - that they can take care of them
