Dearest Kitten:
My love for
you is so sweet and lovely that when I think of you, nothing seems to matter in
this world except my getting home to you. At night when I gaze at your picture,
my heart stops for a few beats. It sure is great to have a wife like you. The
more I think of it, the surer I am that I was the luckiest man in the world the
day that you became my wife.
Although we
are miles apart, it is not as though we were really separated, because your
life is mine and my life is yours. Everything that I do, you are in it with me,
and everything that you do, I am in it with you, I can not say that I do not
miss you because I do. The only thing that will stop the ache in my heart is
for me to be holding you in my arms once more. To feel your body, hear your voice,
and smell the sweetness of you, would be all that I need to send me into an
ecstasy of happiness. How you manage to be all my desires and able to satisfy
all my longings is a mystery to me, but that is just what you are to me.
Some people
desire money, others desire power, but as for me, all that I desire is to be
with you and allowed to stay with you. Everything else is subordinate to you.
As long as you are mine, I know that money and power will take care of itself.
I have your
letters of Saturday, Sunday, and Monday before me. I hope to answer them all
today. If I have to cut short on my letter, you will know that something very
important has arisen and I will not have time to continue.
Thanks for
being so understanding about my being unable to write as often as I would like
to. There is a lot of studying that I have to do and it takes up all of my
time. The studying is the Army regulations. There are five volumes of AR's so
you can see what I mean.
So Lorraine
does not like her new job in Conn. She should get a little army discipline and
then she would appreciate a job where she knows when she starts and when she is
finished for the day.
If Estelle
did have another baby it would be the best thing for the both of them. They
should not wait too long either as they are not getting any younger.
The day will
come when we will be able to wash each other's backs again. My back must be
pretty dirty by now too.
You are
getting a taste of what it means to have a new baby in the family. It will
always be that way in any family. The newest born is always the center of
attraction.
Your mother
could have a cancer, but do not let it worry you too much. It is probably
something else and I hope that it is nothing serious. Has she been to a doctor
about it? She should if she hasn't.
If the babies
did not keep you busy, you would be bored stiff. Talking about something stiff,
there is something stiff that I would like to give you right now. Um-m.
Why do you
let Roland get your goat so much? You should know how he is by this time. Everybody
isn't like your husband. I am perhaps too easy going for your own good.
Relatives are
very poor people to have for friends. The old saying holds true. "You can
pick your friends but not your relatives." I realize how you feel when
they pull something mean on you, but why let it get the best of you? It isn't
that you do anything wrong, it is just that you are one of the family and they
do not figure that they have to treat you with their best company manners.
You are wrong
when you say that I am the only one who cares about you. You would be very
surprised to know how much your family cares for you, but not for you
"little feelings".
I know that
you will bring up our children properly. I knew you would the day that I
proposed to you. Remember what I said? That I would like to have you for the
Mother of my children.
Thank you for
keeping me up on the things that our children do. From the things that you tell
me about them, I live them over in my mind, picturing the two of them doing all
the funny things that they do. I miss watching them grow up.
It is about
time that Ray & Cle came up to see you. We have been over there enough that
it is about time that they paid us a visit.
I am going to
write to Norman today. I think that he would appreciate it very much.
There are
quite a few men in my outfit that would do most anything for me. There are
quite a few that I have done some favors for that they will never forget. My
job is to be a father, brother, uncle, and a mean old B---- to my men. On my ability
to handle them depends on how good a soldier will be, also their morale is in
my hands. It is a big job to handle three hundred and fifty men and see that
they all get a fair treatment and proper punishment. No matter what happens, a
1st Sgt. is blamed or credited by the men under him.
To be a good
1st Sgt. I will have to be known as "The Hardboiled Sgt." Army life
is very different from civilian life. There are a great many things that I do
in the Army that I would never do in civilian life. Men in the Army are hard to
describe. In many ways they are like children and in others they are very
shrewd and smart.
So Bobby is
going to be a great lover huh?
Is my wife
really beginning to handle money. By the time I get home for good, you should
be a very good financier.
Are you sure
that it is slacks that you wear around the house? It isn't your pajamas by any
chance? I am only kidding, wearing slacks is a very good idea.
Well
Beautiful I must leave you and go to Mass. I love you with all my heart and
soul and my only desire is to be with you for always and always.
Regards to everyone
& kiss the babies for me.
Your Loving, Devoted,
Affectionate, & Faithful Husband
Bob
