Dearest Darling Wife,

            Well honey I sure received a sweet letter today. Guess who it was from. Yes you do know too. It was from you darling. Gosh honey I love you so darn much and you know I always will. Gosh Honey I just can’t hardly wait until you get here. I sure hope I get off for the weekend. I will be tickled pink just to see you though, Honey. Darling we have waited for this for a long time. We are going to take advantage of everything we can now darling. I have this room in the Baker Hotel reserved for us now darling. It is really a swell hotel now darling and we are going to stay there at least one nite. Then we will try and get my little wife settled in an apartment for the time she is here. We are sure going to try and get married Saturday nite but if we don’t honey we are going to be together just like we were and we will sure be married before you leave here. Now darling I don’t know exactly when you will get in but if you are not waiting in front of the hotel I will go on in and receive the room for us and will then wait for you in front of the hotel. Of course I’m in the army now and I might be on some kind of duty. In case I’m not there darling, don’t feel bad about it because if I should happen to pull guard duty I would be on duty for 24 hours and couldn’t leave for that time and wouldn’t be able to see you until Sunday evening. There hasn’t anyone ever got guard duty yet, but you never know when they are going to put some of us on. Now this is a very slim probability darling, but I’m just telling you in case darling. I sure hope you get in early. You can’t miss the hotel darling because it is a big one, anyone knows where it is. You just go in under Mrs. Thomas Carr. I am pretty sure I can meet you Saturday nite alright Honey and I’ll be there about 7 or 7:30 in front of the hotel. In case you send a telegram from Fort Worth Honey, don’t send it after 6 o’clock because I might get away by that time, but anytime before that darling is all right. I might be out on the field and wouldn’t be able to return the telegram, but I will get it as soon as I get in and will know when to expect you. Anything you decide on now darling. I am sure going to try and call you tomorrow nite now, so I might talk to you before you get this darling. I sure hope I get to talk to you, but I’m in the army now and you can’t expect anything. Anyway darling don’t let anyone say you might not see me, because I will see you and several times too, I hope every nite. Gosh Honey I just can’t hardly wait until I see my baby but boy its not far away now.

            Not much news honey only I sure do love my baby so much and I’m going to be her husband in a few days. Gosh darling I love you so darn much and I know you love me too darling. Darling you are the sweetest girl in this whole world and I know from six years experience. Honey I really mean everything I’ve ever told you or ever written to you in six years. I truly love you Honey and I always will. I have always been true to you Honey and I’ll always be that way. I know you always have and I know you always will darling. Gosh Honey you are perfect in all ways and I really mean perfect and I know too.

            Well darling all I want is my baby and to be back with her and all our folks just like we used to be. We are really going to make things all right now darling, because we can be together now Honey and that is really what we want.

            Well Honey I guess I’ll have to close now darling and I’ll be seeing you Saturday nite Honey and be looking for your sweet letters for three more days.

            Loads and loads of love to the sweetest baby in all the world.

            I love you so darn much Honey and you know I always will.

            Tell everyone Hello.

            Love and more love is all I can say to the sweetest wife in the whole world.

            Here’s a kiss to the sweetest girl in all the world X X X X

            The next one will be in person Honey.
