Dear Sweetheart,

 

 

            I waited today to write you until after the mail came in for I have received no word from you since the letter you wrote on the fourth of January. I know that the mail service has been changed and is not near as good as it used to be since much of the mail is now routed around thru New Orleans and Miami. However the rest of the boys are getting recently written letters from our part of the country and as a result I am really worried. I am afraid that you might be sick or something. I have written every day or at least every other day for some time. I do hope that you are not ill my dear and if you are someone should drop me a line and let me know the facts.

 

            I had an afternoon of golf yesterday for the first time in a long time and enjoyed the terrific heat. Anyway the score was down a little so I must be improving or least I like to think so. I guess that I will be sticking pretty close though this week end for we have a maneuver on starting at once which keeps me constantly on call. One of those things where the old sleep takes second priority and confusion reins supreme.

 

            Your pop is getting back into the shape which you like the most. What I mean is that the old weight is rolling off and by the time I get back to you on leave I should be or rather have a figure that you can be proud of. It is no more fun than before but results are gratifying. If I could only stay down. I am going to try for I sure don’t want my lady remarking about my rotund condition as I sit on the side of the bed. I am back to about like I was when I arrived here from Texas. I guess you get tired of hearing about this weight reducing business all your life, don’t you my sweet. I guess though that you are stuck with it for it sure is hard to do without talking about it. I’ll try though not to take to much time talking about it.

 

            No picture or miniature as yet. I am sure going to bust wide open awaiting there arrival. I didn’t know that I would get so worked up over wanting something so much as I want those. Hope to goodness they are on the way and that they get here safely.

 

            Oh honey, there is no news and no mail and I am so desperately in love with you I can’t find things to write you for my mood get so low and downcast when I don’t hear from you. I suppose that one day there will be a whole bundle come in at one time but I sure wish that time would hurry. Anyway this is just a note my darling and with it in good health. Love again.

Edwin
