Hello darling,

I received your letter this morning and I was very glad to hear from you. I have been visiting this whole week. I went home with Sam and Fran Sunday [night] and stayed until Tues morning. My cousin from Lakeview came out here Wednesday and I went back with her and stayed until today. I sure was glad to get home. This week just seemed to drag by for me. Those Sundays seem so far away. I’m always wondering where you are and what you’re doing. Do you think of me very often darling? You made the statement in your first letter that you thought of me once in a while. That hurt.

I’m sure we would have a wonderful time at the beach, swimming, laying in the sand and - - - - enjoying ourselves. (Were you kidding if I ever once got into the water, I’m afraid you’d have an awful time trying to get me out. (or would you?)

You know Vincent, you don’t express your feelings toward me any more. I guess the first blow must be over. You never tell me you love me anymore. I just wonder! Maybe you think I should take it for granted that you do. You know I’ll always love you darling, no matter where I go, what I do or what ever happens to me, you’re the one and only one for me. Don’t ever forget that sweetheart. I’ll always love you. I hope you’ve changed your mind about me being infatuated. I think you should know better by now.
Darling, I’d like to talk to you some day. The beach would be a most convenient place. I would like to get some things straightened out in my mind. It would be a relief to have a serious talk with you. Maybe I would be a little more [at] ease sometimes. You seem so restless at times darling, I just don’t know what to think of it. I believe I understand you perfectly well, but sometimes I doubt it.

Darling this better may not seem very cheerful to you but I think you’ll understand. I have the blues tonight and the constant longing for you Sweetheart makes me realize that I need you so very much. If you should ever leave me, it’s just hard to tell what would happen. I am sending all of my love to you so good-night darling. You are very dear to me and I Love You so very much.

Your’s

“Margaret”

P.S. Please make my day-dreams come true, soon.
