            Dear Hon:

            Good evening Sweetheart. I’ve spent most of my evening running up and down the cellar. The fire went very low on me so I put wood on top and add some more coal over it. It is very warm out today it was thawing all day and night now it is raining. The house feels damp but it will be warm soon as I also have the oil burner going.

            I received 2 lovely letters from you today. One this morning as I was leaving for work and another this afternoon that I surmise Mr. H brought along on his way home, which means no mail tomorrow.

            Your Friday letter that you started while waiting your turn was lovely indeed. I enjoyed it to the utmost. Darling, I tried to visualize why it looked like, as those boys sat there waiting their turn. Don’t you think that a phone is a wonderful invention? Your voice carries through the telephone and brings you so close that it feels and sounds as though you were across the street. I’m very pleased that your efforts were not in vain. Darling, I had a feeling that you were going to call me sometime that evening.

I slept so relaxed that night it was as though you were here. The telephone conversation was running through my head and I must have fell asleep in a very short time.

            You were in my dreams last night, when I awakened I thought how real it was. I could feel your kisses so soft and real that it just does not seem possible that a person could go on with such realistic dreaming. Nature, takes its course and how. I suppose because my thoughts are always with you, first thing when I awake and while going to sleep. They say that you dream in terms with your last thoughts when going to bed. It must be so. Don’t you think so honey?

            Well, darling, I am looking forward to tomorrow as Mary is coming home. It will be nice to have a little company after being alone these 8 days. As always, she will try to explain her trip to me and I am a good listener always.

            Darling, I must close now until tomorrow. I’m looking forward to a nice restful night and you in my dreams.

            I Love You Sweetheart as I have never loved before. You are an ideal husband + Sweetheart.
