July 11, 1944.
Tues afternoon.
My Very Dearest Tom,
Hello, my love. How are you today? I am feeling just fine if it wasn’t so warm it would be a lot nicer. The sweat is running down my face. I have a small electric fan running and sitting on the floor in front of me but it don’t make it much cooler.
I came home from work at 7:00 and went right to bed. I slept on the davenport in the Sitting room because Pauline and Arlene were in the bed. I woke up around 12:00 but I feel back to sleep and didn’t wake up until 4:00. I got up then and ate my supper.
I didn’t get my mail from you today but I am reading the ones I received yesterday over again.
Hazel and I
went to see the show “Seven Day’s Ashore” last night. It was pretty good. We went at a quarter till 7 and got out at
9:00. We went to
I sure hope that everything is alright with you and everything is going as well as can be expected.
I Love You, from the bottom of my heart, Sweetheart and I always will. You, are my ideal and I sure do worship you and I will always love you as much as it is possible for anyone to love anyone. You are on my mind every minute of the day.
I sure do miss you and I do hope and pray that we soon get to be together real soon.
Just wait until Jo Carrol comes you won’t have any time for me then will you? I will sure be jealous. I sure hope she don’t get all the loving because I will want some too just like I would like some now. Oh, for some of your wonderful kisses. X X X X X
Yes, honey your Baby loves you just as much as you love her. You couldn’t love me any more than what I do you.
Yes, honey I know that when we do get back together again we will get along together twice as well as we did before. If only we were together know!
Yes, the second of July was about the time we took our lunch out in the woods and we couldn’t find any water to drink. I sure do remember it. When I think of those times I get so blue and lonesome and that is the way I feel now. I know that as each day passes it brings you nearer to coming home but I sure wish that it would go faster so the wonderful day would come sooner. I can’t wait until we can go out on picnics alone like we did then.
Yes, I remember the teasing we got from Harry on the fourth of July, 2 years ago and the dead flower’s he tied on the car.
Yes, I have heard the song Don’t Cry Baby.
I am going to be here all evening and I sure so wish that you was here so you could put you wonderful, strong around me and give me some good loving like you used to do.
I am closing with all my love and lots of kisses.
“I Love Love You”.
Your Faithful Wife,
“Ruth Alice”.
