My dearest Maggie,

I knew something was wrong with you as soon as I saw the envelope. You little devil, you had me in a sweat for awhile. Did you really think something was wrong with you? You and Mrs. Gardner are seeming pretty close. Today Jack got a letter and his wife is also in the pink.

You haven’t written me a long letter for a long time honey, you better get on the ball. I know my letters haven’t been book length either, but I think you should have a lot more to write than I.

I have been waiting for that cake now for a week and a half, it should be very good when I get it. How many did you have to make before you got a good one.

I wish I could see Al in his bath tub, I’ll bet he is cute. I hope to see a lot of him soon. This sergeant that has the apartment said that we can use his pots and pans and some of his dishes, but you will need silverware. He is just going to loan them to us until you are ready to leave or until we get some of our own. I will know Friday or Saturday for sure if I get the apartment. I expect to call you up sometime over the weekend so stick around home, but then I guess you do.

We had snow, rain, and hail today, but the stars and the moon are out lovely tonight, but it turned very cold, below freezing, and we should be having a nice day tomorrow.

Yes honey, I thought that up all by myself about the stars and moon and you. Sometimes I am in a very good mood and the love just comes out. Did I ever tell you that I am in love with you? I do love you honey, and very much. Consider yourself kissed good and hard.

Are you feeling any better honey? Are your cramps gone? Take good care of yourself my dear, and take good care of “Al” also.

All my very best of love,

Preston
