My own dearly beloved husband,

How are you my darling? I guess by now you have arrived in the states and are finding out what’s what. No answer yet from Rhonda darling, maybe there is many more in the same predicament as us darling. I keep watching and watching for news from you angel, Gee! Eddie I sweetly play everything that’s out for us. After I had finished your letter on Monday and was ready to post it, I had one from Wildred, a nice one too. I sent her a couple of snaps of us, and she said Bea told them over the phone you were going back home. Oh! My darling I do wish I could be with you too. I can’t explain how I feel every time I think about it. Darling I do want you to love me all the time, when we meet again. Angel I do miss your love and your kisses, I have to think about it darling cause I love you so much. Sweetheart we’ll make up for it when we get settled down to real married life. Eddie darling I’m so excited and thrilled I wont really be able to imagine I could be so happy when I get away from here darling. You’ll see what a good little wife I’ll make. Deddy is falling asleep at the moment darling, I keep looking at him, his cheeks are just the same as yours, all rosy red. He’s really a big boy darling. Wait till you see him angel. The weather is absolutely lovely here, been pouring every day for about a week now, so you can’t go very far. Leu Bradley and a good few of your friends wish to be remembered to you darling. Please give my love to Madge Bea, Jim and wish I could be there with you all. My own darling husband I wish I could be with you again. Remember I love you and Deddy more than anything else in the whole wide world, and I’m thinking and praying for you every minute of the day. Deddy says he misses his daddy and wants him too and sends him a big kiss.

I’ll love you always,

Connie
