My Dear May.

Your letter was received a few days ago and you can amiginie how happy I were to hear from my Sweety once again. It seems as tho you are never coming back to me if only to night you were with me and I could only kiss those lips again nothing could please me more, but it's all in vain it seem as though it was three years since you and I saw each other, but I hope that we may have

the opportunity to meet again although, you may return and still I may not see you as I am planing to go to Asbury Park for the Summer. Well dear I havent much to say so I will close with much love

yours,
William
