My dearest wife:

My crew and I just finished working. I thought it would last longer that it did, and I found I still had time to write a few lines to you. I was afraid it would get too late and I would get tired. I am tired, and so sleepy. Would you let me sleep a whole day when I get home, maybe not the first day, but the second day. I want to love and smother you with kisses for the first day. I don’t know what makes me so homesick lately, all I want is to be home with you.

There isn’t any news around here, and tonight I don’t know what to write about except that I am very deeply in love with you. I haven’t heard from you today, but I usually don’t on a Tuesday. I guess that is another reason why I was so lonesome today. I hope to hear from you tomorrow, that is if you wrote Saturday or Sunday, and I hope you did.

I really can’t write tonight honey, I am tired and my mind seems to be a total blank. I think you know how the feeling is.

I do love you though sweetheart.

Do you remember-last year at this time? I was in your arms, kissing the daylights out of you.

Goodnight sweetie,

All my love,

Pres.
