Dearest Kitten:
I love you
with all my heart and soul. My love for you is so powerful that at times I do
not know whether I am going or coming. As the days pass by, I find myself
getting more and more impatient to get home to you again. Although I am usually
busy from morning till night I still have spare minutes to think of you and
home. I am lonesome for you as you spell peace, quiet, and restfulness. How I
miss being able to lean my head on your bosom and feel the warmth and closeness
of you as you stroke the wrinkles off of my brow. Make me forget my worries and
troubles.
No I have not
received my rating as yet. It will take a little time for that to happen. They
may have to make me a technical sergeant first and then a 1st Sgt.
It seems that a jump over one rating can not be made. In other words, I have to
get a stripe at a time and not two. From S/Sgt. to T/ Sgt to 1st
Sgt. is the way it may have to be done and not from S/Sgt. to 1st
Sgt in one promotion. It is rather odd that I am over three technical sergeants
and myself only a staff Sgt. As soon as the official promotions come through, I
will let you know. At present I am only acting 1st Sgt. Does that
clear it up or not?
The fellow
that took the picture of us when we went golfing has been transferred and I saw
him a few days ago. He told me that as soon as he finished the roll and had it
developed, he would send the negatives to me. So just do not let you jo(?) get
hot. It takes time in the army to do anything.
You should
take a walk with our children as often as you can manage it. The fresh air is
just as good for you as it is for them.
So they
finally took my cousin Paul. It is about time that he was taken. I wish him
luck anyway.
Your letters
are much better. You seem to have gotten over your perpetual grouch. Just stay
that way until I can get home to straighten you out properly.
I only wish that
I could be home to kiss Bobby, then I would be able to kiss his mother too.
I received a
letter from André and Arthur Smith both. If I get the time today I will answer
both of them. Your sister wrote also. I sure will have a lot of letters to
answer if I do not get on the ball.
It sure was a
tough break for the Gagnons. She will probably be able to collect. It would be
very handy for you to keep your carriage down in the hallway. By this time,
that is what you are probably doing.
The
bassinette has done its duty. When I was home last I was wondering how much
longer it was going to stand up with Bobby bouncing all over it.
When we have
another baby ------ What am I saying? Two was supposed to be enough. Maybe you
were right in saying that when I get home, I would change my mind. Only time
will tell about that.
I was
thinking about you when I said that two would be enough. After all I do not
want to tie you down with too many children. When everything is straightened
around again, I want to be able to take you places. Places where it would be
impossible to bring small babies to.
It will be
fun to take you and Bobby & Barbara out on picnics. We sure will have fun
with them, huh? Sweetheart. Pals, that's what we are going to be. Fishing,
hunting, hiking for Bobby and me. Skating, picnicking, sliding, and everything
for all of us. Sounds good, doesn't it. Well, it will be good.
There was a
lot of things that I would have liked to bring back from Maine, but I never did
get the chance to. We could have used a lot of the things that were left up
there. Oh well! It just can not be helped now.
So you would
like to have a little loving from your husband huh? Well, just keep praying and
hoping, then one of these days your husband will return to you for good. Uh huh!
What a time that will be.
Enclosed you
will find André's letter.
I love you
Beautiful.
Regards to all
& kiss the babies for me.
Your Loving, Devoted,
& Faithful Husband
Bob
