Saturday

Darling lady,

 

            Two nice letters from you yesterday but I just cold not get a chance to answer them yesterday. But here I am early in the morning and there is still time for you and I have to have a chat or two before I actually arrive in person. I can feel you nearer to me already there in Florida (that is if you haven’t been “bumped several times”). Somehow I feel that you have not been.

 

            Darling I want to tell you how your letters were. They did me much good. It is a very wonderful feeling to get letters like that. It makes me know that I have a partner, pal and dear wife in its most meaning form. And that dearest is something that few men are able to say and it is something that is dear and valuable beyond words. As long as you are with me in those respects I will never be really unhappy. How could one be. Yes I have been discouraged to some degree and I will explain it all to you later It is not entirely for the same reasons that you state although I must admit that that has a deal to do with it. We can talk about all that in Florida which is not long now even if these days do seem to drag along like weeks to me.

 

            My plans are still the same. I intend to leave here on the fifth if there is a plane that day. Sometimes they skip a day but at least on the first plane that goes out from that date. I have my priority all set up and am only waiting the fun. I think that you have worked things out rather nicely. It was thoughtful about the uniform and I would much rather have it. Practically all my kaiki (wrong) is in holes and I continue to vasilate about getting more and am not going to unless I return here although one can always use it. I will proably have to stay that nite in Miami or go back there if I am to get my transportationhome and since that is an item of probably a couple of hundred dollars one worth taking care of/The distribution center at Miami has to make out the orders on that therefore the contact must be made. I probably can do it by phone and have them mailed to me and will try to do that. At any rate io should be in Miami by seven in the evening of the fifth and will call you by phone that nite in fact short after I land so if you can be around the hotel then it will expidite things.

 

And believe me my sweet patootie I am for that oyster Idea. Maybe some for breakfast to at least for me. We can spend a few days in Orleans if you like and I think it would be fun.

 

            So you are going to be hard to handle eh darling. That is music to my ears and I am the one that would just like the opportunity to try. I know that my mind is bigger than my capacity no doubt but you can bet that Pop is going to do his best. No other woman on this earth could give me more than you are able to give me and no one else would ever satisfy me. I guess that I just have the one wife that I should have and the one wife that I could dream for. I am lucky and I know it. I guess that you gather dearest that I love you very much.

 

            I still wonder about that job and Kens statement but the fire has burned down some but is still smoldering. I think that you might be right about Charlie Myers job and it would be a good one I guess with possibilities. There I go again. Would you mind living in Victoria? Some town you know. Well maybe something will come out on it and we can run up to Cowtown and see them soon.

 

            I am going to close dearest lady and send my adoration and love until I see you. Hurry hurry.
