Dearest Friend,-

Just a few lines to let you know that I got home alright.

It is just eleven-o-clock me and my sister just got back from our neighbors. It is late, but it is never to late to write too you. last night I was down and stayed too Ida’s place. her and John were up for dinner. They brought their car. it snowed all day I went back with them The snow was so deep we couldn’t hardly get there. There isn’t much snow. about four or five inches.

I suppose you got home alright? Ida wanted to know why you didn’t come back with me. I hope some day you will get so you will think more of me. I am always dreaming of you I sure will be lonesome when I get back on the ship. I hope there will be a day when we can be to gether more. still I don’t suppose you care much.

This sure is a lone some place around here. I sure will be glad when I get my discharge so I can go back to Manitowoc and stay. I don’t expect too stay long now, as they are letting lots of sailors and soldiers go all the time so they may let me go soon. And I do hope you will still be in Manitowoc when I get back.

I am buisy all the time washing my clothes and sewing buttons on. I want every thing cleen when I get back.

I will leave here Tuesday night. stay in Chicago one day. I have to be back Friday morning. They may send me too the ship right away. or they may keep me at the hospital for awhile. I will write and let you know all about it just as soon as I get back.

I have one brother in France now, he was merried just befour he left. I suppose he is ancious to get back. I have another brother down in Alabama. I think they are going to let him come home. I would like to go over for about two weeks. but not any longer.

Well it is nearly twelve-o-clock. time for all good good little boys like me to be in bed. I don’t know what I will do when I get back I will have to get up six every morning.

Well Rose I hope I will find you in Manitowoc when I get back.

I will close for this time hoping this letter reaches you. And that it finds you well and feeling fine.

Good-Bye will write as soon as I get down there.

Best Love-don’t forget too write once in a while.

Yours forever-

Dan.

Dearest Friend,-

I am just going to write you a few lines, to let you know that I got home alright, and sure was glad to have a letter waiting for me.

I got home this morning at nine-o-clock. left Chicago last night at eight thirty. Didn’t get any sleep. I sure was tired when I got home. But am feeling fine now.

I don’t want you to think that it is too much bother for me to come down to see you. I just want to tell you it would be a pleasure, and would do me good to see you again.

I have not seen Ida yet. May see her to-morrow. I am going to make this letter short. as I expect to see you soon. I may be down there Monday or Tuesday the 18^th or 19^th-And may be there befoure that. Hope so any way.

This will be all for this time as I can tell you more when I come.

Good-Bye

with best love.

Your Friend-

Dan-

(P.S. Answer as soon as you can-)
