Darling,

 

            Haven’t written now for a couple of days simply because I didn’t have a thing to write about. Haven’t received a letter from you for a week. Did expect any day to receive one from you telling me you had heard from me as most of the boys have already. That should be a wonderful letter.

            Remember how you told me you looked forward to my Sunday letters. I’m afraid that these Sunday letters won’t stand up to those you received from Alexandria. Those letters were filled with page after page of love and longing up to be truthful, meaning no discredit to our unit censor, I find it rather embarrassing to fill a letter with much affection, as it is reread. However at least I can make sure to write every Sunday. Speaking of love and longing sweetheart do you remember that last nite we spent together in Alexandria. I tried then to really impress upon you the wealth of love and complete understanding I have for you so that although my letters might not contain a great deal concerning my feelings for you, you must remember from when we were together. Please do Darling. I am yours completely and never want you to forget it. As I vowed although you neither required nor expected any promises I have been faithful and shall always remain so. Not that I want any credit for it, as to me I find being true to the one I love perfectly natural but did think you might like to be reassured of the fact Hon. Comparisons are your greatest allies. There just isn’t another woman in the world to compare in any way imaginable, with you. Thus when I have and am married to the best why interest myself in someone inferior. That is the simplest of dedications and I don’t understand why more husbands do not realize the same thing, saving themselves lots of trouble. Well that’s their worry not mine so lets drop the subject.

             Received a May 15th copy of the Boston Herald today from Dad Goodwin. Gosh its good to see a paper from home. Wish you could send me a copy of the Ledger. Always enjoy reading about the sports; the different shows in town etc. see by this paper that Xavier Cugat is on the stage at the R. K.O. There are lots of good movies, Bing Crosby in “Going My Way” “See Here Private Hargrove” etc. That the circus has come to the Boston Garden for 13 days beginning May 23. Grand opening of the Raynham dog track. Some good plays. Night-club advertisements galore. Boy when we are together again we are going to hit all those clubs. I have a lot of fun to catch up on. Then again going back to the conservative entertainment side, I see the “Pops” are on with  Arthur Fiedler conducting. No doubt you have attended.

            Also was interested in seeing the bill at the Saugus and Weymouth Drive-in theaters advertised. Remember what a swell time we used to have in them. Completely segregated from the rest of the people we could mix in a few “lover’s lane” tactics while observing a good movie. Then again sometimes I’d spend so much time kissing you and indulging in such romantic fancies that we would miss half the show. I might say you were a very willing subject and probably was as much to blame as I was. You sure were sweet and always shall be. What a marvelous life ours has been when we were together. God willing it shall be so again.

            Well baby this letter has been reminiscent in content and as such has been a very enjoyable one to write.

                                    Good- nite for now, with all my love, Warren
