I got up about 8:30 and went over to the next  barracks to see Jerry. He was writing letters  and had his bag all lashed up ready to go. I used  his razor and shaved and washed up then I  helped him carry his bag down to the place  where they load them on the truck. He wanted  some Christmas cards so I went over to the  canteen and got him some. Then I left and  came back to the YMCA and got the 11 o’clock  bus back to Little Creek. I went to chow and had  some delicious baked ham. I got an extra piece  and made a sandwich and wrapped it in wax  paper and put it in my pocket for later use.   Then, my main purpose for coming back – to see if  I had any mail from my honey. But no  mail did I have so I caught the 1 o’clock bus                            [[Nick Dante 10/5/16]] [[Page 4- Letter]]  and went back to Norfolk and went to the YMCA  and listened to the Army and Navy Football game.  Boy it was a good game but Army won. Then  I met one of the guys from the office and we  had supper. I had a pork chop, beans, peas, pie  coffee and rolls. Cost 50 cents. It was so cold  out that we didn’t care to go out walking  around so we decided to come back “home”.  We got back to camp at 8 o’clock and stopped in  the office. There was two lovely and delicious  letters for me from my honey gal. I have  the lock of hair you sent and gosh hon its just  like you sent me a million dollars. Now I  actually have a part of [[underline]] you [[/underline]] with me. I felt  it and stroked it and it felt so nice and  soft which is just like every part of  you. How boot all your curves hon still  as nice as ever? Gee honey what a gal  you are. The most wonderful one in the  world and knowing I am married to you  makes me one happy guy. How come I                              [[Nick Dante 10/5/16]] [[Page 5- Letter]]     [[Letterhead: UNTIED STATES ATLANTIC FLEET   AMPHIBIOUS TRAINING BASE    Little Creek, Virginia]]    was so lucky to win your hand for life? Well  Im so glad it was [[underline]] you [[/underline]]. Darling I Love You.  I went over to the canteen and got a pint of ice  cream and came down to the barracks and made  my bunk up and read for awhile.   Boy honey I sure could stand a good partner  sleeping next to me now as it is really cold  out. That old wind is really cold and blowing hard.  Of course honey I’d love to have you next to me  all the time, boy that will be swell when  we can do that again hon.   Well darling guess I better close now  by saying Nite Nite Angel and don’t forget  I Love You. I Love You. I Love You. more than anything  else in the world.       “I’ll be Yours”    xxxxx      x Angel x xxxxx   xxxxx         Bill     xxxx x  Don     Judy   xxxxx   Pat
