Dearest Marge,
Honey I’ll
answer your letters tonight. I just came
back from a 48 hour pass and I had 3 letters so I’ll answer all three. You said in the one you heard from me. It must have been about 4 weeks that I never
heard from you or anyone either. Boy I’m
really glad to hear from you. I’ve
gotten a good many letters since I got here and I don’t know for sure how
many. After they were all straightened
out they covered the whole time but they were all mixed up arriving here.
Chet and
Deets are still here. Merle Foalston was
left in the States. You said something
about him in one of your letters that I couldn’t make out. Write and tell me more.
I had some
fun on my pass. The only thing it didn’t
last long enough. I went to
We went to
Boy today
was really a dreary day. I don’t think
the sun ever shines for a full day here.
It’s trying to rain now.
We stayed
at a Red Cross dormitory in
I’ve been
getting the Journal now. It takes just
about a month for it to get here.
You asked
me to tell you how many days I was on water.
I can’t tell you the exact day but it was too darned long. I hope it doesn’t take half as long to go
across the other direction. Boy land
really looked good though. You will have
to wait till later to find out.
One English
custom I don’t like is beans on toast for breakfast. They have a lot of funny ways but I can’t
think of any right now.
Honey when
are you going to send me your picture? I
wrote about two weeks ago and asked for it.
If I was
home now we could really have some fun.
How is gas rationing since it was cut down again? What you need now is one of these English
coal burners. Then you could drive all
you wanted if your tires didn’t wear out.
Honey I’ll
have to close this before long, there isn’t much more to say. I’m O.K.
Honey, don’t forget to take your medicine. Maybe you will get real fat again. Ha Ha.
Be good and I’ll have to be. Boy
I wish I could see you real soon. I’d
really be happy then. Honey I’ll write
more next time. I love you and always
will. I’m waiting till I can be with
you. Here’s all the love in the world.
Love and Kisses Your’s
forever,
Ralph
