Dearest Kitten:

How I would love to take you in my arms and give you a great big kiss. It seems to be years since the last time since I did just that.

My love for you is a demanding type that wants you to be physically present at all times, so that I may be able to kiss you and love you all the time. I know that you feel the very same way about me, Beautiful.

You are Beautiful you know. To me anyhow, you are the most beautiful woman in the world and I love you with all of my heart and soul.

So you went over to Roland & Marion's. It is about time that you did.

You should know by now what the package was. It was parts to a model of a P38 airplane and insignia for Roger with a letter saying that I made Roger my official mascot.

It is about time that you learnt that when you go out is always the time that you have company. It never failed to happen to us that when we planned on going somewhere and went, someone always came up to visit us.

Too bad about Mrs Girard's floor. It is such a nice floor too. Huh!Huh!

Roland should stop worrying about being in 4F. It is not his fault and he is lucky that he does not have to leave his family. I am glad that he is back in the kitchen. The fountain was too much for him anyhow. His worse trouble is that he tried to please everybody. Which is impossible to do.

Thanks for being so reasonable about my letters. It is rather tough to write to you every day. I will write as often as possible though.

So you're getting to be a sleep head huh? Remember how we used to stay up so late. Those days will come again Sweetheart.

No, I do not think that you are childish. I only wrote that to try and snap you out of your mood.

I bought some stamps down at the main post. I go down quite often to cash money orders and checks for the men. Usually about once a week.

So you think that I will be coming home soon huh? I only wish that it were true. The way things look, it will be quite some time yet before I do get a chance to see Lowell again. Never mind though, that day will come, and when it does Wow!

So you like the picture. It is none too good but nevertheless they will all be nice to have to torment myself with some time when I get home for good.

The fellow who took my picture up on the golf course went home on an emergency furlough and came in to see me the day before he left. He was going to have the film developed while he was at home and give me the negatives when he comes back. Just hope that he keeps his word and you will probably be receiving some negatives in a couple of weeks.

I hope that you had a good time at Norman's party. They usually do have a good time at their parties.

Sweetheart the weather has been wonderful for the past few days. Regular spring days. It makes me home & love sick. I am finding it harder and harder to keep my mind on my business.

There are time when I feel like giving up this job. It demands too much of a man. Especially in this outfit where we have about twice as many men to a Company as any other Company.

Oh Well! I imagine that I will just continue to work and slave until I am requested to quit. Never let it be said that I quit anything voluntarily.

Gosh but I love you Kitten. Always remember that and always trust in it.

Regards to everyone & kiss the babies for me.

Your Loving, Devoted, & Faithful Husband

Bob
