My dearest wife:

It was good to hear your voice again Maggie. You can believe it or not but miss you so damn much I can’t live without you anymore. It was good to come to see you every noon and evening. It gave me a good feeling all day long. I also felt in a better mood – so happy I enjoyed that Trip to Nashville with you too. I am sort if I caused you any worries. I just don’t know what was wrong with me. I guess I expected to much. I was so lonesome for you and to be loved. I guess in your condition you weren’t in the mood for love and I should have known it, but as you say I am too greedy and want to much and don’t give anything in return. I hope you’ll forgive me once again. It seems like I am always asking for forgiveness. I know things will be alright when I come home, then I’ll know I’ll be with you forever. I don’t ever want to leave you or loose you and I think you know that. You sure proved yourself that you love me for all you done for me when you came all the way down here just to be with me (or was it the rest). Anyways honey I love you so much more for it. I really love you and miss you more now than ever before. It doesn’t seem like this will ever end.

As I told you over the phone we arrived here at the fort about 7 P.M. Thursday. Do you remember I told you how dirty the barracks were in Campbell, well they were much nicer than the ones here, these were filthy. Took almost two days to get them clean. The supply room isn’t too bad only it needs some more shelves, it has an office to it, and a latrine. I believe you’d like it, you could sit in my office all day. Rick and I walked around some of the post last night. They have restaurants here with girls to wait on you, and there are more houses here than in Tiffin. They have homes for non-coms and a Public school for kids, children and everything. I think you would like it here.

I really don’t have very much to write about honey. I can’t seem to be able to write when I am so lonesome. We are going to have some busy days ahead probably work day and night. I’ll write you every day tho honey because I never forgot about you. You are all I want out of life.

Our phone number is 7187.

I am sending you something and also something for the baby. I’ll send your letters as soon as I find some kind of box.

I love you my dearest wife. “FOREVER”.

All my love
