Dear Chris,
It is late Sunday night but I know must write. I am very sorry about not writing, please forgive me. I think about you all the time you are all always on my mind. I only wish that we could be together. Like in one of your letters you said all that you wanted from Korea was me. I sure hope that you meant it Chris cause I really want you too, I love you Chris and I hope that nothing happens to ruin our feelings toward each other. All I live for anymore each day is for you and the day that you will really see just how very much I do love you. Someday you will realize that I really do love you.
Friday I got my orders to be promoted to SP/4. Last night I had to work. I had to go and get some generators that were about fifty miles away. While hooking one of them up to the truck it slipped and I broke my finger. Oh well, it's to late to do anything about that now. But boy did it ever hurt.
So many times I have tried to get you to go out with me. Cause I really do dig you. I know that we could rally have a groovy time together or no matter what the weather. I haven't gotten a letter from you now for about a week. But really I haven't written either so I guess I can't say much about that. But please don't give up. Maybe if things go right we can be together like we should be very soon.
There isn't much going on over her. Friday I got my orders to be promoted to SP/4. Last night I had to work. I had to go and get some generators that were about fifty miles away.

Our company isn't doing much right now and the end of this month we will be out in the field for about 5 days. Then next month we will going out on a 6 week field problem. I hope I am gone by then cause otherwise I will be working my butt off. I guess other than that we aren't doing much over here. I really miss you a lot. I relish that we were together. I really mean what I said about you. At one time I really dug Terrie but with you it is really different. I just hope that we can keep things going good for us until I can get home. I want to be with you so very much. So lets both pray and maybe we can be together soon.
Write soon, I miss you.
Love,
Jim
