My Dearest Darling Wife,

Hello sweet little angel, how is my darling little wife. Awful, awful sweet I know and fine I hope. You had better be dearest. Gee darling I received the sweetest letter today and I was so darn thrilled to get it honey. I also received one from the folks Honey. Yours was February the first so that was darn good honey. Gee darling your precious letters mean the world and all to me and they are so darn sweet. They make me so awful, awful happy dearest and make me feel so wonderful all over. Gosh Honey won’t it be wonderful when we are back in each others arms and won’t have to write letters any more. Darling please don’t worry when you don’t hear from me for quite a while now. You know I will always write you as often and as much as possible dear. You are so darn sweet Honey and I love you so darn much.

I am feeling fine now dearest and getting along all right in every way now. I have plenty of everything now dearest. Well honey it has been a pretty nice day here and I was sure glad to see it. Sure hope you are having some nice weather now dearest. Didn’t think I would get to write you today dearest but I had time for a few lines so I thought you would rather get a few lines than none at all. Gee darling it will be so darn heavenly when I am back in your sweet arms and back to a swell climate.

Sure hope this finds you feeling swell dearest and everything going along all right in every way at home now. Gosh honey I sure do hope you don’t have any more of those awful colds now. Just can’t have my little darling sick. Please be awful, awful careful now dear and take wonderful care of my sweet little wife.

Well dolly twenty nine months ago today we were a married couple of only a few hours and gee but we was happy dearest, in each others arms so tight. Boy Honey when we get back together we are sure going to celebrate these anniversaries we have missed out on and what I mean we are sure going to celebrate to.

Honey dear you are so darn sweet and I love you so awful darn much and you know I always will dearest. You are so darn sweet and so precious in every way dolly. Honey dear we are so happily married and love each other more every day. Honey I know God hears our prayers and will keep us safe and bring us together as soon as possible now. Please take wonderful care of my precious parts Honey, gee but they are wonderful and I love them so darn much. Yours are fine dolly, miss you so awful darn much. You are the sweetest and most adorable little wife in this world dearest and I love you so darn much and you know I always will dolly.

Well sug I guess I had better close and now honey I’ll write as soon as possible. Don’t think it will be many days this time Honey. I’ll be looking for your precious letters now dolly. Please be awful, awful careful dearest and take wonderful care of my sweet little wife. Remember now dear chin up and always happy. Tell all hello dear.

Love and more love to my adorable little wife.

Loads and loads of love to my dearest darling little wife I love so much.
