Dearest Sweet?
Just a few lines this morning beings its Sat. I thought maybe you would like to hear from a person once in a great while. Do you not? Sorry to have to write in pencil for I left all of my fountains pens many miles behind. I guess it doesn't make so awful much difference wither with pencil or pen. To-day its' awful hot but believe me so hot I can't imagine wheater I'm going or comming in any direction. Gee! Its awful. Be prepared for a terrible shock anytime from now within the next few months. Anything can happen you know.

I have been wondering a great deal in the past few weeks. I mean I have but my mind have been over there where you're at mosst of the time. Isn't that awful? No, wonder, I never accomplish, anything just by the meaning of that. I know that you're busy day & night but, can you take a few hrs off when some day, I come home to spend a few his with you? I guess I have your ming waondering in circle most of the time, am I right & just by the way I write most of the time. My writing soudns awful screany to me, but I can say how you really like it. I guess a few yrs over such a place as this makes any person a little different thanusual. I guess. Gee! Sweetheart I guess things has changed them from what some of the boys say that just caome from there.

Just what do you think of boy has been drafted six weeks & come over here for two weeks & going back home, already so soon? I know that their good luck by it looks bad on the boys that has been ones here for a few yrs. You see how the really feel now towards such things as that. Don't you Sweet! I can say onething, if I ever have a son which starts to walk on this left foot. He had better get his right boot in motion quick. Ha Ha! "I wonder" The armed service is O.K, but it is the trouble with the people in it. These damn slant eyed people of t hadn't been for them this thing would never have happened yet maybe not. If I ever have to go from here to some other outfit in the service I think I'll join the foreign occupation.
4/
For that will last from three to six yrs.could be even longer. I just as well spend the rest of my life over in these part of the world I know you don't like me saying this but that is the only way I feel now, for being over here this long so far. Only time will tell when we return. Would you let me go to join the outfit I just mentioned if you had your way about it? I know you would just say yes go ahead, glad to get rid of you for a few yrs. I after wondered just your opinion of me? I've after wondered just what you think, a sort of person. I am by my writting or reaction of my writting is? If ou want to answer just write to the same address, if I'm around they will forwar it to me if I'm left by the time the mail arrives. I will close for this time only until I hear from you again.
Love always
Albert L. Costello
