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 no sweet letters so far today but I don’t suppose any will be in for a few days now after all that swell mail yesterday. Gee darling your letters were so darn sweet and so wonderful in every way, just like all your wonderful letters are dearest. Gosh Honey they mean so darn much to me and make me so darn happy. They make me feel so darn happy when I can get your sweet letters. Gee but it is a wonderful feeling to get to get your sweet letters Honey. I sure hope you are getting my letters all right now Honey cause I know you really are happy when you get my letters just like I am when I get your sweet letters dear. Darling you are so darn sweet and I love you so awful, awful much.
I am feeling fine now dearest and getting along all right in every way. I have plenty of everything now dearest. Well Honey it is getting pretty hot again here today. As soon as is stops raining it starts getting hot. Boy it will sure be a wonderful day when this thing is all over and I am out of these tropies for good. I sure hope you are having some nice weather at home now dearest. I suppose it is pretty hot back there now too. Well I worked the afternoon shift today Honey and I just got in from work and had supper so I will finish this now Honey.
Honey I received that Fathers Day card that you sent me, today. Honey it is so darn pretty and such a wonderful verse. Honey you are so darn sweet and always think of me on every occasion. You are such a perfect little wife darling and I love you so awful darn much. Honey that is such a sweet verse and so darn true for us. It has so much meaning honey and you know Honey that, that sweet verse has the same meaning from me to you to. It was so sweet where you wrote in the back of the card honey and as you said Honey that sweet card sure does express some of our thoughts. Won’t it be wonderful when I am back in your sweet arms Honey and we can enjoy every occasion together and be able to tell each other in person how much we really care for each other in every way. We will be so darn happy Honey and everything will be so darn wonderful.
Honey you was saying that Norma sent you a swell cookbook and a nice pair of silk hose. Boy I’ll bet you sure were glad to get those Honey. A swell cookbook like that sure is swell Honey cause you can sure get a lot of new ideas from them. My little Honey sure is a wonderful cook. Gosh honey I never will forget those swell meals you have fixed for me. It will sure be a wonderful day when I am back and can eat every meal prepared by my sweet little wife. I’ll bet you sure were glad to get those silk hose Honey. You sure are up in the world Honey to have a pair of Nylons and a pair of silk ones. Boy everything sure is hard to get I guess.
Honey I sure hope you are settled on where you are going to move now and all like that. That is sure a hard job, that moving and fixing up Honey and I sure hope you don’t work to hard now dearest. Sure wish I was there to help you darling. Please be awful, awful careful, awful careful now dearest and don’t work to hard now honey. I sure hope Pop made the deal all right Honey and that you can get a real nice little house now. It will be so darn swell when we get our own little home dearest and get it all fixed up like we want it. It will all be so heavenly and we will be so darn happy Honey.
You was telling me about being up to Anna Mae’s and leaving your purse up there. I’ll bet you sure did miss it honey. I never will forget when you used to forget your purse or leave your lipstick or powder out at home. You sure would worry about that sweet little face Honey dear. Gee darling you have so darn much pride and am I ever proud of you darling. Gosh Honey you always looked so wonderful in everything and always keep yourself so perfect in every way. Gee but you are wonderful Honey and so darn sweet and precious. Remember when I used to get in your purse and go through it Honey. We always had so darn much fun together darling and now everything will be so much more wonderful cause we can be together all the time. We used to use that purse for several different things, remember Honey, you sweet little dickens. Remember that nite we forgot and I just happened to find them on the way home. Honey we were always so darn happy and now we are happily married and always will be for the rest of our lives.
Honey dear you was telling me about having to get your bracelet fixed. I am sure glad you didn’t lose it Honey. That was sure cheap to get it fixed honey. I believe it will be a lot better now Honey if they take some links out of it cause mine is a little loose on my arm and I know your arm is smaller than mine Honey. Sure hope you get a nice job on it now Honey. Darling you be sure to see about your little ankle bracelet now to cause if you don’t get it fixed you will loose it. I tightened the clasp on mine and it never ha came lose since I sure didn’t want to lose it again.
Honey 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 dearest. Honey dear I am so darn lonesome for you and want to see you so darn bad. Won’t it be heavenly when we can hold each other in our arms and hug and kiss each other all we want to dearest. Darling you are so darn wonderful and so pretty and perfect in every way. You are the sweetest and most adorable little wide in this world honey and I am so darn proud of you dearest. Honey dear I know God hears our prayers and will answer them and bring us together as soon as possible. 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 dearest. I’ll be looking for your sweet letters now dearest. Please be awful, awful careful now dearest and take good care of my darling little wife. Remember now dear, chin up and always happy. Tell all hello dearest.
Love and more love is all I can say Honey.
Loads and loads of love to my dearest darling wife I love so darn much.
