5As soon as I don’t see you I begin to long to see you. I do so wish
6you lived some where near, so that you could some times come in or I
7get to you. My not being able to travel by under ground makes it so
8difficult to get any where now the buses are so few & so full. I
9enclose you a leaf of our C.O. men. Don’t return it.
