letter of october 3, 1943



Oct 3, 1943

Dear Dearie

Just a letter to wish you a very very happy birthday and many happy returns of the day. This letter will have to act as a birthday card. I am sending you a little something after pay day. I wish I were there for the ice cream and cake, but just have an extra helping for me. I only hope you receive this letter in time for your birthday. May be next year this time we will all be together again we can only hope so. I would love to write more but every minute counts, we are still rushed no end. So once again I wish you very happy birthday. As ever

Love Robert

P.S. Please tell mom to rush the footlocker or it will be too late. Sent it to the same address. Also I received my watch, thought I had told you - works fine.
