Dearest Kitten

I love you with all of my heart, soul, and body. The day will come when we will look back at our separations and be able to laugh about it although at the present it is so heart breaking to love so much and be separated. It has been only three days since I left you without too much grace at the South Station.

Forgive me for leaving you so abruptly at the Stationo but I had to or you would have found out what a big baby your husband is. My heart was so full of love for you and it seemed as though it was going to break.

Thanks for everything. Thanks for being you, the best wife in the world. The most considerate, lovable, and beautiful wife in the world and I was fortunate enough to get her for my very own wife.

Things have been hopping since I left on my furlough. Furloughs have been cancelled and I was very lucky to get out when I did. There are a few more men who got out but under the present set up on furloughs I would not have been eligible for a furlough.

Everybody has to be in by the 25th of March and we will be "alerted" soon after. It will not be too long now before we go to the port of embarkation, so do not be too surprised to hear that it has happened one of these days.

My trip down was without event. I arrived in Jacksonville at 1:00 A.M. Saturday morning and got into Tallahassee at 7:30 A.M. the same morning. I got into camp Saturday afternoon at 1:00 P.M.

I received all your letters and cards, also a package from your mother and a letter from her and Pauline and one from Andrew. I looked at the cards but the letters are still unopened.

Enclosed you will find three pictures and four negatives. Have the picture that is missing finished. It is the negative with four of us in it. Write on the back of it "Tec 5 Pomerleau - Myself - Lt. McCormick & Borosh".

Be satisfied with this letter until I have more time.

Regards to everyone & kiss the babies for me.

I love you - ditto - ditto - ditto.

Your Loving, Devoted, & Faithful Husband

Bob
