April 8, 1945
My dearest Maggie:
Today was another lonely day without you. Do you miss me as much as I miss you?
Two letters came in today, one from Mother and one from Ruth. Ruth says Mother is starting to look a lot better, and getting fat. I hope she takes care of herself now and takes it a little easy. Mother said she sent two boxes already, but I guess I have about a week or so yet to wait yet. They say it takes a package about five to six weeks to come over here. What did the kids get for Easter?
How is Dat feeling? I guess she is getting a little taste of having children now. Does she say anything about it?
I was just thinking the other day, I sure would like to see you in a sweater and high heels again—mostly high heels. It seems like ages since the last time I saw you wear them.
Have you had that pain in your shoulder or chest looked at yet? You better go to the doctor about it, and for heavens sake do as he says. I don’t want anything to happen to you, I want you all in one piece when I come back. Will you please go to a dentist and make an appointment? Do this one thing for me. I can’t look after you very well over here, but I worry about you, so you must take care of yourself.
How’s my little girl getting along? Did she stop her crying? I’ll bet she looks awfully cute. I sure wish I could hold her. Already, I am running out of something to say. Tomorrow I should have something to write about.
Remember honey I am in love with You.
All my love,
Pres.
