Dearest Kitten:
How can I
express my great feelings toward you on a sheet of cold white paper, when my
love for you is so warm?
My feelings
are not too bad as I sit down to write this letter as I have been so darn busy.
It is all new to me and I am doing my best to work it out properly. The
responsibility of every man in the Company is on my shoulders. It is my job to
run the Company. You will imagine what it would be like to see that three
hundred people were clothed, fed, and quartered. Besides knowing just where
they are at all times.
That old
feeling of emptiness is creeping upon me again as I think of you. How I love
you, Sweetheart. There is nothing in this world that I would rather have, than
to be with you now and forever. You are so sweet, tender, beautiful, and
desirable, how could I help myself from loving you. My heart is so full of love
for you that it would not surprise me if it should burst.
I just happen
to think. This letter will probably reach you before yesterday's.
[Due to airmail stamp on it - Dec 23 letter
was sent "free" therefore was slower.]
Yesterday's
was very short and explained about my new job. Hold onto your bonnet. I am
acting First Sergeant. As soon as I can be promoted, I will be. In other words
I have the position but not the pay as yet. My base pay will be $138.00 a
month.
Night before
last our old 1st Sgt. went to town with two other non Coms and they were
A.W.O.L. [absent without
official leave]. One of the NonComs was in line for the job as well as
myself. So being A.W.O.L. it left me as the only logical man for the
job. Anyway, that is the way that the Company Commander put it. He left me very
little choice in the matter yesterday afternoon when he gave me the job. So
here I am, with 11 months' service in the Army and a 1st Sgt. "Speed
personified" that is me.
Tonight I am going to midnight Mass and I am going to communion. I
will dedicate the mass to you and the babies. There is a lot that has to be
taken care of tonight. So I am forced to close this letter.
Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year Sweetheart.
Give my regards
to everyone & kiss the babies for me.
I love you,
Beautiful.
Your Loving,
Devoted, and Faithful Husband
Bob
