Dear Hon:
Good
evening darling. I am alone for a while
so I am taking advantage of the peaceful moments in writing to you dear. Somehow I can think more clearly when I am
home alone, no interruptions. Sylvia,
she and Ma F. went to the hospital to visit Olga R. as she had a baby girl a
few days ago. I didn’t care to go as I
don’t know her at all.
I feel very
tired tonight as put in a good days work today.
I worked with Mary and Wanda in the Cafeteria this noon, after dinner I
had to go with another girl to the drug room and weigh saccharine for 1 ½
hr. I got back and Helen asked me to
come on Male side for supper. Boy, what
a day. I should sleep well tonight as I
always do when tired.
Did you
have a nice time at the party? I hope so
darling. It will make me happy when you
write me what a nice time you had.
Today’s letter was the one you wrote while waiting for a
truck convoy to come and pick you up.
Darling, I appreciate your writing to me before you left, sweetheart if
possible I would do the same for you.
Here I am again sweet, I had to
stop writing for a few minutes as the door bell rang. I went to answer it and guess who it
was? A man picking up
names for the honor roll. I gave
him your name and Bus’. He told me that
they talked about it for a long time but no one did anything about it until he
started.
Mary had a
letter from Walt and Wanda today, as usual it was full
of questions. I wrote them a lovely
letter about your homecoming and how wonderful it was to see you I’ll bet she
never wrote a letter like that. She probably
wouldn’t know how.
Tomorrow is my day off and we also have the weekend
off. We would like to go home for the
weekend if the weather permits. We have
plenty of snow yet but it turned warmer today.
The sun shone bright all day long.
It almost gave you spring fever.
When you write how warm it is in
Sweetheart,
I can’t wait till I get the Claiborne news so that I can see your picture in
it. Always something to look forward to,
that’s what keeps the world going, it’s the little things that make us happy,
like getting your picture in the paper.
There was a time when I couldn’t get excited over nothing but now its
different, a picture tucked in with your letter, a card for my birthday or
holidays and oh so many things that keep me excited and happy. Each morning when I wait for the mailman’s
footsteps on our porch, I get all excited and run for that letter that I love
so much to get. Its things like these
that make us forget the real sadness of it all.
Life is very funny, isn’t it darling?
There is a lot of disappointment mixed in with it but who cares, we can take [it], can’t we dear?
I bought an
Easter card that I am forwarding to you darling as I want you to send it home
to your folks. I shall get one for my
mother and send it myself. Perhaps a polish card.
Sweetheart
darling, it is exactly 1 hr. since I started this letter, time sure flies. I would like to drop Leo a line and inform
him that we are well and hope to be home for the weekend.
Goodnight
Sweetheart, may God bless you and take good care of you for me.
I Love you dear with all my heart. I hope that we can be together soon.
Your Loving Wife.
P.S. I want to dream of you tonight darling.
