Dear Hon:
Good morning Sweetheart. How is my
darling this morning? I feel fine and rested as I am on late this morning it
certainly is different than getting up at 4:30. The late shift is always
welcome.
I thought, that spring is just
around the corner but from all indications it is still winter. We had zero
weather this morning. The windows are frozen all around. That is March for you.
Joe K., left yesterday with the
biggest contingent we had in a yr. Somehow my heartaches for Mary and the
children. She must be very blue today. Darling we understand now how pitiful it
must be for a dad to leave his home and children. You see, dear with you and I
it’s a little different, as there is one left behind but when there are
children it’s terrible. I hope she is brave. Her family will not be much
comfort to her as she and they never get along.
How did you progress in school darling?
In your letter you stated that you will be shooting at aeroplanes
around the weekend. Have you dear? I sorta imagined
you doing so yesterday. No letter from my honey yesterday, which means no mail
for 2 days as today is
2.
Sunday. There may have been a delay on the train. Tomorrow
morning I will probably get them in a lump.
Mary and I had breakfast a few
minutes ago. Pecan Roll and coffee. She is washing the
dishes now while I am writing to you darling. I didn’t write you yesterday dear
as I was very tired and when I am tired I can’t think, so I figured that after
a good nights rest I should be able to write you in the manner that I like to
write you.
Bus is expecting his furlough within
a month. We will have some company for a while again. It will feel good to have
a man around for a little while more. Deep down in my heart I keep scheming
about seeing you soon. Somehow I can’t picture you away from me for another 6
mo. That is much too long. Darling, you may get within my reach sometime and I
sure will take advantage of it. I hope that you get shipped closer darling.
As I glance at the clock from here,
it tells, me that time is getting short so I must end this letter to you
sweetheart with lots of Love, enough love to fit in a
ocean.
Your Loving Wife.
