My Dearest Darling Wife,
Hello honey, how is my darling little wife. Awful, awful sweet I know and fine I hope. You had better be dearest. Well Honey I received a letter from the folks today and it was June the seventeenth. That was the only one I got though but maybe I will get some sweet letters tomorrow. I sure hope so honey. That one I got from the folks today was the latest one I have received. Gee darling your sweet letters mean so darn much to me and they are so sweet and precious. They make me so darn happy and make me feel so wonderful all over dear. In that letter I got from the folks today they hadn’t been getting my mail very good and I don’t suppose you have either then Honey. I sure hope you are getting it all right now dear. Gee darling you are so darn sweet and I love you so darn much.
I am feeling fine now dear and getting along all right. I have plenty of everything now dear. Well Honey it rained just about all nite last nite and then part of this morning, so it isn’t so awful hot here today. Boy it sure is a relief to when it cools off a little. Sure hope you are having some nice weather at home now dear. Well I worked the day shift today Honey, from six in the morning until two this afternoon. Boy I sure have been working all the shifts. Maybe I will get settled for a day or two now, at least I sure hope so. Sure hope you aren’t working to hard now dear. Please take it easy now dear, you have been working so darn hard honey, working every day and then working on your house. Please be awful, awful careful now dear and take good care of my sweet little wife. Honey won’t it be wonderful when we are back in each others arms and can help each other in every way and take care of each other. Gee darling we will be so darn happy and everything will be so wonderful.
Honey here is a picture of me taken this past week. I and another fellow took a roll of film together so I got three pictures of myself. He has a roll we are going to take now one of these days before long. Out of the three I am in I like this one of me by myself the best so I am sending you the negative of it to dear. I will send the other two in my letter tomorrow or next day honey so if some of the letters get lost you will get one or two of them. Sure hope you like this one dear. I also have a few pictures of some of our equipment and some of my buddies I am sending Honey. Gee darling it makes me so darn happy when I get your sweet pictures and I know you like to get some from me to. Everything is so darn hard to get over here and you have to have the negatives made before you can send them back and you can’t hardly find anyone to make the negatives either. But honey you know I will get some made for you whenever I can. If you get ahold of any film Honey you can send me a roll cause I don’t have any more film now except this roll me and one of my buddies have together. Honey dear I am looking for some more sweet pictures from you now, so don’t you forget me dear. I know you will send me as many as you can get film dear. Gosh honey I look at your sweet pictures so darn much and they mean so darn much to me. Won’t it be wonderful when we are back in each others arms dear and won’t have to look at pictures when ever we look at each other. Boy honey we never will get out of each others sight and what I mean not for one minute dear. We will be so darn happy dear and everything will be so wonderful.
Well in the letter I got from the folks today they talked like they had bought the place there where they live. I sure hope they did cause I have been wanting them to buy a place. They are getting up to a pretty good age now honey and if they own their own place they don’t have to worry about moving and it really costs a lot more to rent a place to. Honey I am so darn anxious to get back in your sweet arms and we can start looking for the place we want our home and get started on our little home. Gee darling it will be so darn swell to get out own little home and have it all fixed up like we want it.
Honey you was saying that Evelyn Ann was working there at the office and that she was engaged to be married in September. Is she the youngest girl honey or that one that was going to school when you are going. I think that youngest one started school my last year there. I guess just about all the kids that we went to school with are married Honey. I heard that John Cunningham and his wife divorced each other. I know that there isn’t a couple anywhere that are happier than us dear.
I love you so awful, awful much and you know I always will dearest. You are so darn sweet and so precious in every way dear. Gee darling we are so happily married and love each more every day. Darling I know God hears our prayers and will answer them and keep us safe and bring us together as soon as possible. Gee darling you are the sweetest and most adorable little wife in this world and I am so darn proud of you dearest. Honey dear you are so darn sweet and I love you so awful, awful much and you know I always will dearest.
Well dolly I guess I had better close for this time and I’ll write you as soon as possible now. I’ll be looking for your sweet letters now dear. Please be awful, awful careful now dear and take good care of my sweet little wife. Remember now dear chin up and always happy. Tell all hello dear.
Love and more love is all I can say dear.
Loads and loads of love to my dearest darling wife I love so much.
