Last letter – 25 Mar.

8 C.I.R.T., CAO,

28 Mar 45.

Darling Isobel:

I’m late this time writing. I was going to write last night but was away all day taking some evidence on another case & didn’t get back until late – was so tired I just had a cup of tea & went to bed. Anyway I’m writing this to catch this mornings mail, so no harm done.

I’m Victory Loan Joe again this time. I sort of thought that I’d be able to get away with it this time but I was someone else thought differently. It will be o.k., I guess best I tried to get over to the [?]to sell them there but couldn’t make it. I sure would like to have done that.

Well, Babe, the war news sure looks swell these days, & maybe before too long we’ll all be home again. Certainly we’ll be back by this Christmas, & that’s not so very far away. I’ve been here nearly three months already. I’d sort of like to be back before things get happening to you. It will sure be funny coming back & seeing a baby a few months old. Had another phone call from Hugh – he just phoned as he was passing a phone booth. We are getting together this Sunday afternoon if all is well.

Have had no letters this last few days. Maybe the weather has been bad or something. No parcel yet. It will be along sometime. Be sure to register the next ones you send. It is always safer. Also don’t enumerate the articles in them – just say “soldiers comforts” & don’t forget to put on a customs declaration – lots of unnecessary advice, I guess.

Well, honey, I’ll get this to the P.O. right away. Don’t worry about me, dear, & be sure you get to the doctor in lots of time.

All my love, honey

-Frank
