Dearest

I am lonsome to-day and thought that I would write to you to ease my mind. It seem like years before I can be alone with you again, but when I do I'll make up dear for lost time.

You can't imagine how much I wont to see you. you looked so sweet Sunday night; and I couldnt even hold you in my arms, wasn't that terriable. Roger and I talked about you and Adele until we reached Eliz. I wants to come up to-night as it is such a nice evening to love such a sweet girl like you, but I guess I'll go down to the Gym. Please meet me about twenty minutes to nine as I am going to get the 8.29 and then I'll get up there about 15 to nine. Be sweet for me your sweet heart is longing for you only.

Yours,
Bill.
