Wednesday – 1:30 P.M.

Dearest Elaine:

Here I am again and I am wondering what goes on in that mind of yours by this time. What do you doing now with all of your spare time now that you aren’t working? Thinking of me once in awhile, I hope, and loving me as much as ever. I’d give so much to be able to see you right now. I haven’t been doing anything but sleeping and driving of late. I came in at 1:30 last night (from work) and went to sleep and started to dream. Some of the craziest ones I ever have had but only one about you. I could see you so plainly and we were having so much fun. Seems we were driving thru the country and we stopped somewhere for dinner. Then it ended. Dag-gonit. I could have gone on for the rest of the night and not have minded in the least.

Honey I was talking to a Captain for the Air Corp yesterday and he seems to think I have an excellent chance of being sent back for training before very long. I sure hope so for I need to see you so very badly. I don’t care though. No matter how long it takes for me to get there I’m going to start looking for you the moment I hit the dock and I won’t quit until I have you all locked up in my arms and heart. Then I’ll probably kiss you breathless before I let you go. Honey I have so many plans for you and I. First and most important is the trip to the preacher. Then we’ll leave the rest of it in the laps of Gods. You see, Sweet I am entitled to a furlough when I get back and if I do get it. We will start for home first thing. We can have so much fun and do so many things when we do go back. Honestly, Darling I am planning on seeing you soon and I do want us to do all of the things we have planned. I have meant it all dearest and I do want it to come true. Never lose faith, my dearest and we will be together soon. I don’t know for sure, how long it will be for I could get my orders today or it might still be months before I do get to come. I do know though that it will be some time and golly how I hope it is soon.

It’s been very lovely here for the past week. And I love you so very much. Oh honey if I don’t get to see you soon I don’t know what I am going to do. I worry so much about things and I want you so very badly.

How would you like to go to our dance on the 13^th? I’ll send you an invitation if you want one and boy, how swell it would be for you to be here. Honestly though sweet we have things running pretty smoothly now. An elderly lady in the town is going to help us out and our first dance is scheduled for Aug 13^th at 8:30 P.M. I guess she can round up about 35 girls for it and as there are only 40 of us we should all have a good time. At least I can try to get back in practice dancing.

Talk about inspirations. So here goes - - - - I love you so much that I can not think of anything else to write. “Must be slipping”. I do love you though Elaine and I’m going to be telling you in person one of these days. Don’t hold your breath but keep your fingers crossed and pray for me sweet. I write again Friday and you write soon.

Miss you. I guess. All My Love – Especially for you

Love Paul

Want you. Were you are.

Kiss me tonight sweet.
