July 19, 1944

My darling wife,

I love you very much mommie, its just one of those things that grows and grows on me. Its been proven time and time again that I’ll never stop loving you. You are everything I am living for today. I have often been so glad that I married you. I was thinking what kind of a guy I would be if I weren’t married. I don’t think I would be the guy I am now.

You told me that your mother and Dad have gone, but you never told me where or how long they will be gone. I am no mind reader – yet.

Well I had my class this afternoon. Instead of having one class for an hour I had three one hour classes. We have three afternoons, and I had an hour for each, and don’t you think it doesn’t get tiresome. Its over now, and as far as I know it was my last class (thank God).

Its still hot here as you can see by the above smears.

I received a letter from Charlie today which I think I will enclose, and two snapshots he sent along.

Do you think I have more entertainment than you? I don’t honey, thats why I feel so low at times. I get so awfully lonesome for you, to be near you with your arms around me, and kissing me so hard. When I said I missed Franklin, I didn’t mean it like it sounded. I missed it because you were there and I could come to see you, and it has been our home for about eight months, the longest place we ever lived together, and if I could have stayed there our other child would have been born there. Its almost like a home for me.

What happened between you and Marie this time? And you better tell me the whole story. I don’t know why you bother with her at all. I think you can get along without her company.

Send me those pictures whenever you can honey. I’ll look around for some film for you. Don’t forget to take your camera along home, maybe mine also.

Goodnite for tonight honey. You are always in my mind. I always try to think what you are doing during the day and at this very moment, I can’t forget you. I love you.

All my love,

Pres.
