My Own Darling Wifey,

I was so please to receive your welcome letter last night dearest. Now, darling I am getting your letters alright now although I must have missed one last week & I think before you gett this you'll have received my letters thanking you my love for the parcel which I thoroughly enjoyed & I also received the 5/- P. 6[?] & I hope dear that you have received your broaches safely & that you like them dearest.

Yes! darling I hope too that this will bring the States into the fray & I do hope & pray that the war will end soon. Just fancy our darling will soon be a year old, how I would love to see her now &how I long to se you again my love. No, dearest I have only had one letter from Victor & Blanche & that was about a month ago. Oh! sweetheart you ask if I dream of you. My darling I dream of you night & day. You are my one thought the whole time. I think of nothing else. I as on "hut orderly" again this week & sometimes I sit all by myself & that sweet face just comes up in front of me but just when I hold out my arms it is gone. I keep thinking of our meeting to come & living in that hope & think what a reception you'll give me darling. Yes! sweetheart it is sweet - very sweet to be loved & to love.

Now darling there is another order come in this morning for a draft of 30 & I'm among those that have been named, but don't worry dearest I don't think they'll take me, there are about 10 men extra & I think I'll be among them. I'll get out of it some way or other if I have to go to the doctor myself.

Well dearest I dont seem to have much more news tonight love & I want to write to Mother dear. So give my love to Mother, Dad, Maggie & Sonney & accept bestest love & Kisses to you sweet self & my little darling from Di Da Da. Heaps of love & kisses!
