Sunday, Jan. 30, 1944



Dearest Kitten
Here it is Sunday again and my thoughts are of you and the nice quiet Sundays that we used to spend together. Sweetheart I always enjoyed just being with you and only wish that I could be with you today.
In due time the day will arrive when we will be together again. Let us hope that it will be forever and ever. As long as I have my say, we will never be parted for more than a week at any time except in a case of an emergency.
Do you know that I love you Beautiful? Well I do. I love you so much that it hurts. It hurts me because I know that you love me as well and that it is very lonesome for you.
So last Saturday you thought that I was coming home. Weill it is a very long ways up to there Darling and it is impossible to get home on a weekend pass from here. I only wished that I could get home on a weekend pass.
By the time that you receive this letter it will be the first of the month and you should receive a check for $300.00. If you receive $300.00 I would appreciate it if you would send me $25.00. For the next three months I will not receive any pay at all. Due to the changeover from Class E to Class F allotment retroactive to November, you will receive $300.00 all at once. It will be $100.00 for the past three months. They will have to take all the money that they overpaid you and myself for those three months. As it stands now, I owe the Army about $150.00. So I will receive no pay for the next few months.
If you only receive $100.00 this month forget it as I can borrow enough money to keep me going until I start getting paid again. I was only trying to get away from borrowing money. In my present position it is bad policy to borrow money from the men.
Maybe if we both pray hard enough, I may get a chance to get home again to see my wife and babies, although it looks very doubtful at the present time a miracle could happen. Let us hope and pray that it does.
So Charlotte's baby is cute huh! I sure would like to be able to go around visiting with you.
It is about time that Uncle Henry got what was coming to him. He has been asking for it for a long time. I certainly was not surprised to hear it. I have been expecting something like that to happen for a long time.
I sure would like to see my daughter. It would be fun to watch her walking around. I bet that soon both will be running around raising h---.
Of course Bobby has a temper. I would rather he have a controlled temper than none at all. At least it shows spirit, but it has to be properly controlled.
(Later)
No letter today again. Hmm I guess my wife doesn't love me anymore.
Don't let it get you down, I was only kidding. I know that Tuesday night you had a party to attend and I hope that you enjoyed yourself. Did you?
The weather has been wonderful down here lately. I go around during the day in my shirt, but at night and early in the mornings I wear my field jacket.
Today I have a lot of letters that I want to answer. I only hope that I will be ambitious enough to answer them.
As you perhaps have noticed, I am signing my letters differently T/Sgt instead of S/Sgt. It will be effective the first of February. The order has gone through, it is just that it has to come back from Regimental.
Gosh but I wish that we were just completing our dinner and getting the babies ready for their nap, so that we could go into our bedroom and have a little session ourselves. Oh well! No help. It is nice to think about anyhow.
Regards to everyone and kiss the babies for me.
Your Loving, Devoted, & Faithful Husband
Bob
