My dearest Paul,
It was so wonderful to talk to you today, and hearing your voice did help me so much, dear. It really picked me up, and I’m so happy that you called.
It will suit me fine, dear, to marry when you finish the school there, but as I told you, if you should be shipped out and would to do it quickly you know I’ll do it that way too. I do hope [an] escapade. They said he was most cordial, though, shook hands often. Think he’d just been barely speaking to them before. Beanie and I had just gotten in when you called this aft. We’d been out to her uncle John’s (Parker’s bro.-in-law). They really have a dream house. It’s like a picture. Really, it’s one of the prettiest places I’ve ever seen.
As I told you, dear, I haven’t had a date or been with any boys at all, and all of my bridge pictures have been girls. And as for the drinking I’ve done since Wash., well, Daddy has though, you won’t have to go for awhile, (Not that I wouldn’t want to marry yet for I love you so much the sooner the better would suit me) for I know when you do leave I’ll just about pass out.
Beanie is
staying over here for a few days while her mother is away. She and Mary Ann got
up at 6 a.m. to go down and see Donald and some of the boys off to camp. It was
the first time they had seen him since their
I had a nice letter from Mary Lou today. Paid for me to come by anytime I could.
Mary A. had another letter from Bob. Said he expected to be transferred any time after this week.
I had planned to send this letter airmail, but it would have had to have been in the Post Office an hour before plane time and since it is now 7:30 and the last plane going north leaves at 8:45 I don’t guess it could make this plane, but I’m going to send my letter tomorrow airmail, so let me know, dear, if it gets there any sooner.
I miss you more than I can say, dear. You make me awfully happy by calling me this afternoon, and you’ve no idea how much it helped me to hear your voice and I hope you will call me again soon. You know, dear, that my every thought is of you, and I love you dearly.
Lucille
P.S. Please excuse the difference in stationary, but this is all there is!
I love you,
