Dear Hon:
Good evening Sweetheart. I’ve spent
most of my evening running up and down the cellar. The fire went very low on me
so I put wood on top and add some more coal over it. It is very warm out today
it was thawing all day and night now it is raining. The house feels damp but it
will be warm soon as I also have the oil burner going.
I received 2 lovely letters from you
today. One this morning as I was leaving for work and another this afternoon
that I surmise Mr. H brought along on his way home, which means no mail
tomorrow.
Your Friday letter that you started
while waiting your turn was lovely indeed. I enjoyed it to the utmost. Darling,
I tried to visualize why it looked like, as those boys sat there waiting their
turn. Don’t you think that a phone is a wonderful invention? Your voice carries
through the telephone and brings you so close that it feels and sounds as though
you were across the street. I’m very pleased that your efforts were not in
vain. Darling, I had a feeling that you were going to call me sometime that
evening.

I
slept so relaxed that night it was as though you were here. The telephone
conversation was running through my head and I must have fell asleep in a very
short time.
You were in my dreams last night,
when I awakened I thought how real it was. I could feel your kisses so soft and
real that it just does not seem possible that a person could go on with such
realistic dreaming. Nature, takes its course and how. I suppose because my
thoughts are always with you, first thing when I awake and while going to
sleep. They say that you dream in terms with your last thoughts when going to
bed. It must be so. Don’t you think so honey?
Well, darling, I am looking forward
to tomorrow as Mary is coming home. It will be nice to have a little company
after being alone these 8 days. As always, she will try to explain her trip to
me and I am a good listener always.
Darling, I must close now until
tomorrow. I’m looking forward to a nice restful night and you in my dreams.
I Love You Sweetheart as I have
never loved before. You are an ideal husband + Sweetheart.
“God
Bless You.”
