My dearest wife,
The boys of the 122nd finally left today and I was at the train to see them go. It was kind of a sad sight for me to see, living with them for a year and a half, and it was hard to see them go. They all ask me to take good care of you and the baby. Lei said he would write to you or I and try to tell us where they go. About eight wives were also at the train, some crying and others trying to look brave, in a way I wish I could have gone with them, and I almost did. They transferred a man from here to the 122nd and he was a supply man, but I didn’t go. You must have been praying hard for me. I am glad I can be near you for awhile longer. I love you so much my dearest. I am so glad to be married to you.
I know you don’t want me to thank you for writing but I want to, I was glad you wrote Sunday night, I would have had to wait until tomorrow for a little. You – are – a – good – wife. Do you remember me complaining about my back? Well you cured it honey. I didn’t know that love would cure physical ailments. Did you?
So you had a good time Saturday evening? I did too honey. I felt so much in love with you, and it felt so good to dance with you again, I felt good too. If we would of only thought about that train sooner.
I was very lonesome honey, coming back without you, its so hard to leave you. You were pretty brave not crying. Really Maggie how much snow did you have? You said two feet, do you know how deep that is, 24 inches. There is no snow here at all anymore, we had a beautiful day again today, and cleared up the snow pretty well.
The baby was so good when I was home. I hope he is still good for you. He is getting so cute.
My ring was shiny yesterday, but was dull for awhile today, but right now it is shining again. Tell me if my predictions are right I know it works, and don’t laugh about it either.
I still
have some spring fever. I guess its too cold back in
I didn’t mind so much of you falling asleep on me. It made me feel good that I could give you comfort. I feel so comfortable with you in my arms too, I sleep so good and rest well.
I ask about a ice box in their apartment, and they have one. There is also a baby bed there too. Do you think the place is too big for us, it has three rooms and a bath. The rent is $10 a week, we have to pay the gas bill, and oil for awhile, and then the ice. You have to furnish sheets. Give me some of your opinion on the subject.
Don’t forget my watch.
I love you my little darling. Imagine you are getting a big, good kiss from me.
All my love,
