Dearest Friend Rose,-

I just received your most kind and welcome letter day befour yesterday. And am going to answer it now.

I am much supprised of you wanting to go to Milwaukee it most nocked me over when I read your letter. And would not like it a bit. of course you are your own boss. but you do not know what kind of a place Milwaukee is. even if you are going with other girls you know. They are not acquainted there and would be the same as you going alone. if you go you will be sorry. Please- Please, Dear Rose Obey your father and either stay in Manitowoc or at home. I expect I will be home by August and hope I will see you there then.

Well Rose I got a letter from Mother yesterda. she told me my brother and some old friends were back from France. so every time I think of it I get homesick. I sure would like to get home now.

Rose, it sure makes me feel good to have you say, that you dream of me. it makes me think that you still have a little Love for me. I can not explain my love for you in this letter. I am more than pleased to think that you enjoy your self writing to me. I will try and do better. see if I can write oftiner.

Well Rose I am getting sleepy, it i after eleven. there is nothing more to write, so think I will knock off for this time. I will write as often as I possible can.

I am well and getting along fine. Hope this letter finds you the same. You can address my mail to (Charlestown Navy Yards, Boston Mass. U-S-S New Jersey.)

This will be all for this time. Good-Night

With Oceans of Love

And Best Wishes.

Hope to remain Your

best Friend for Ever.
