My Dearest Darling Wife,

Hello sweet little angel, how is my darling little wife. Awful, awful sweet I know and fine I hope. You had better be dearest. Well dolly no sweet letters so far today, but I am sure hoping that some comes in before the day is over. Gee darling your precious letters mean the world and all to me and they are so darn sweet. They make me so awful, awful happy dearest and make me feel so wonderful all over. Gosh Honey it just gives me the grandest feeling all over when I can get your precious letters. I sure hope you are getting my mail all right now dearest. Gee darling won’t it be heavenly when we are back in each others arms and won’t have to write letters any more. Dearest you are so darn sweet and I love you so awful, awful darn much.

I am feeling fine now dearest and getting along all right in every way now. I have plenty of everything now dear. Well Honey it is a pretty nice day here, not so awful hot but plenty warm. Sure hope you are having some nice weather now dear. You should be having some real nice weather by now dear. Gee darling we could be having so much fun if we was together now and we would be so awful, awful happy. Well Honey I am on the nite shift now. Just seems like I work and sleep and get up and time to go to work again.

Honey you was telling me in one of your last letters about listen to the General Election program and they were telling about all the new things that would be on the market after the war. Boy I’ll bet there is a lot of new things dear and new inventions on older things made. That home laundry sure would be nice dear and I expect it is something along the same line as the one we saw at the better home show that time. We are sure going to have our home fixed up as we can dear. It will take us a little while to get all fixed up dear but we will keep adding to our things all the time and we will have everything in fine shape before very long. Gee darling I am so anxious to get out of this thing and get started on our home. Just as soon as I get out dear we are going to start looking around and fine where we want our home and the kind we want and all like that. Gee darling we will be so darn happy and have so much fun fixing everything up like we want it and doing it all together.

Honey dear I surely do remember when we used to go out to Winnwood Beach swimming. That sure was a swell place to go dear and gee we had so much fun. That is sure a nice drive out that way to. I’ll say it will be swell to come home from work dear and take us to lunch somewhere and eat out and then go for a swim. It will be so relaxing dear and we will enjoy it so much. Gee darling it will be so darn wonderful to be able to do whatever we want to, whenever we want to. Honey I sure do remember when we would go on a picnic with the folks and then you and me would take off so we could e by ourselves. I’ll say I remember all the ways we used to do it dear and gee how heavenly it was Honey. I’ll bet we find a lot more new ways now darling, how about it Honey. Gosh Honey we will always be dressed so comfy around the house and I’ll bet it will be just about with out the towel most of the time, right Honey. Gosh Honey we just got to be so close together all the time. Just think Honey, everything we do will be together and we can do whatever we want to and whenever we want to. Gee darling I just think all the time about the first embrace and our week at the hotel and how wonderful it will all be and then all the wonderful things we will be doing after that. Boy Honey that first week we are sure going to shut ourselves off from the outside world and just stay right in each others arms all the time. How heavenly it will all be dear and Honey the precious parts together all the time. Honey please take wonderful care of my precious parts, gee but they are wonderful and I love them so awful darn much. Yours are fine dearest, miss you so awful, awful much darling but they will be together before so very long. Honey dear please keep that sweet little chin up now and you know I will to dear and darling I know everything will turn out wonderful for us in every way.

Honey I sure hope this finds my doll baby feeling swell and everything going along all right in every way at home. Gee Honey I am hoping so much that you are feeling swell in my next letter. Please take it easy now dearest and darling don’t work to hard. Whenever you aren’t feeling the least bit well dear I don’t want you to work and if they don’t like it you can tell them to take their job and go south with it cause you sure don’t have to work under conditions like that dear.

Darling you are so darn sweet and I love you so awful, awful darn much and you know I always will dolly. Honey dear isn’t it wonderful to be married and really own each other. Darling I am going to hold you so awful tight and kiss you so often when I get you in my arms. I’ll never let you out of my sight dear, no sir Honey not for one minute. Darling I know God hears out prayers and will keep us safe and bring us together as soon as possible now. Honey you are the sweetest and most adorable little wife in this world and I love you so darn much and you know I always will dear.

Well sug I guess I had better close for this time and I’ll write you as soon as possible now dear. I’ll be looking for your precious letters now dearest. Please be awful, awful careful now dearest and take wonderful care of my sweet little wife. Remember now dolly, chin up and always happy. Tell all hello dear.

Love and more love to my sweet adorable little angel.

Loads and loads of love to my dearest darling wife I love so much.
