My
darling,
Gee but I love you Maggie. I never knew I could have so much love for one
person as I have for you and I miss you an awful lot. I love you Maggie, and
that goes for Allen too.
Today seemed so much like Monday to me, I can hardly believe its Thursday
already. I will miss you this weekend but it will go by fast I
hope.
I think I told you that my bus broke down again last night, but it wasn’t
quite so bad this time. I got in just about 10 minutes before reveille so
everything was alright. I got into Indianapolis about 4:30 this A.M. and had to
wait until 5 for a Camp bus. I will be so glad if you come out to me, no
sweating out buses. I forgot to tell you I think my transportation problem will
be solved. One of the boys here has a car and goes into Franklin every night,
and it will also cut down some on our expenses.
I haven’t done much if anything today except think of you. [Edited for
content] I will probably dream of you tonight. I may go to the show tonight, but
again I think I should go to bed because I am sleepy. You know we didn’t too
much sleep did we, but some rest anyway. After thinking it over today I should
have got up with you every morning, but it is too late to be thinking of it now,
I want you to forgive me. It makes me mad because I don’t wake up to see those
things sooner. I think the reason I did it was because I never have many days
that I can lay in bed, well anyway I am sorry about the whole thing. The boys
said I looked pretty good today. I had a gleam in my eye. You must have seen the
love shinning out of them. I know I could in yours. You are looking so good and
healthy to me. Your complexion is so clear. You must be taking good care of
yourself. Try to take some walks when the weather gets nicer and take a few
exercises in the morning, it will build you up and make you stronger. Don’t
forget to take you pills and do your daily ------, it’s for your own good you
know, please do this for me, and go to the doctor about your
pills.
I think our kid is up to Gardners now or maybe
even a little ahead, so keep up your good work honey.
I think this is about all I have to say tonight, but I love
you.
I am going to
dream of you.
Goodnight my
dear.
