Dearest
Kitten
I love you.
It is painful for me to continue to write that simple sentence without being
able to say it to you in person.
How happy we
will both be when the day arrives when I will once more be allowed to take you
in my arms. We will spend a few happy hours embraced in each other arms once
more.
With each
passing day, my impatience mounts. I can barely control my desire to see and be
with you again. When that happy day arrives, my feelings will be very hard to
control. Be careful, because I will be so hot that you might get burned if you
are not careful.
How I miss
seeing the babies and watching their funny antics. In our later years it will
always be fun to look back and recall all the funny things that they did. Of
course there will be a break that you will have to fill in for me.
What's this?
Barby wearing pajamas already. Before we know it she will be wanting to get
married.
It was too
bad about Pauline's father. I was glad to hear that he is getting along O.K.
though. There sure has been a lot of illnesses and deaths lately, it seems.
Talking about
cold weather. It has not been too warm around here for the past few days. We
have been wearing our field jackets & machinaws.
Bobbie's
birthday party sounded like quite an affair. Let us hope that I will be there
to celebrate his next.
I swear that
I had nothing to do with Roger looking like me. By the way, talking about
looks, I have a two day old mustache. Everyone in my section is growing one, so
I had to also.
Do you think
that you would like me with a mustache?
I remember
Chamberlain. Give him my regards if you see him again.
Rita's letter
came today also your letter of Monday.
Sweetheart, I
have no doubts or fears in my mind where you are concerned. Let's forget it,
huh?
Thank God
that my day as C.Q. is over. Tomorrow we are having a day off.
The men like
me but soon I will have to crack down on them. They are beginning to take
advantage of my good nature. The only way to handle men in the Army is with an
iron hand but to always be fair.
A good leader
is one that the men fear but respect his ability. This is necessary because
there will come a time when the leader will have to give an order that the men
know will lead to possible death. If the leader is not feared, they will refuse
to obey the order and then there will be a hell of a mess. It is necessary to
do it on this side rather than waiting until we hit action.
I love you,
Beautiful, but I must close.
Regards to all
& kiss the babies for me.
Your Loving,
Devoted, & Faithful Husband
Bob
