August 18 1944

Dear Kathleen-

Honestly I don't hardly know where this week has gone to but I do know it has been of the busiest since I came down here. We moved everything from the ward I was in and moved everything out of the ward we moved into. To top it off we had to scrub the ward and wash all the windows. So my letter writing has suffered as a result but I shall endeavor to make up for it this evening.

Certainly glad to hear you had such a nice time traveling. I got a nice letter and card in NY.NY and he has been sight seeing up the Hudson River. Also got a card from Ruth Cochran. She is at a H.H. Camp at Shelby, Mich. Yes, it is wonderful to get away from home and see how some of the other folks live and the surroundings in which they live. One certainly appreciates home a lot more after he is gone awhile.

You know I don't know what to tell you really I don't. I do know I'm not due for a furlough until the first of Dec. Five men have left here and some more will probably go but I don't know if I will be one of them. On the other hand I never feel secure in place for I feel I'm not in disposable. A fellow has to sort of live from day to day and not plan too far ahead. Some of these fellows have been here three years but thats no reason why I will but one never knows. Kathleen I certainly wish we could see one aonther but gee I don't know what to say really I don't.

If you truly love this other fellow please don't let me stand in the way of your happiness. How true you are when you say it is a life proposition. That's why I want to make sure I choose the right mate for I don't want to divorce the gal I decide to call my own.

Well the war news certainly sounds good. Perhaps one of these days real soon we'll be able to return to normal life. Even if one was to get married it wouldn't be quite real but I'm not against it if a couple are truly in love for danger is always at hand. Something can happen to me while here as well when I'm home. It seems like if something is going to happen it will.

I hope you can read this letter. For some reason I have not got very good control over this pen this evening. I must close now and here's hoping to hear from you real soon again. Better still if we could see one another.

Yours truly,

Milan
