Dearest Sweetheart:
Your husband
is rather lonesome today. I may be because I have not seen you for so long, could
be! I have very high hopes that things will get cleared up shortly and then we
will all be together again.
By the time that
this letter reaches you, your allotment check should have reached you. It
should be $185.00 and a $50.00 bond. It is entirely up to you to save as much
as possible. When I return, we will need all the money that we can get our
hands on if your plans are to work out properly.
Sorry to hear
that Bobby has been sick. My advice is to have his tonsils out as soon as the
doctor thinks that it would be best. I agree that he is still young but it is
better to get it over with than to have him getting sick periodically.

It is
unfortunate that we are not in the same position as Charlie & Tess. I could
really initiate that mattress. Do birds fly?
Too bad about
Paul Vigeant. There is very little anyone can say under circumstances like
that.
So your
husband isn't the only tease that you have to contend with. I wonder where our
daughter gets her trait of teasing from? It could be from her father.
You can not
fool Bobby. And if I know his mother, he has a decided stubborn streak in him.
You are very
correct about the WACS. For the greater majority of them are girls that could
not land themselves a man and figured that being around the soldiers would be a
good way of getting a man. There are a few exceptions of course.
Will you send
me some face cloths? I bought some before leaving, but they have all
disappeared somehow. Some Fanny Farmers would go nice also.
Your birthday
is only a few days away, see I did not forget, and there will be a package in
the mail for you. It will take a long while to reach you so please be patient.
Our club is
coming along fairly well. The only thing holding us up is payday. As soon as we
get paid and get some money into the treasury we will be in a position to get
things going. Our Commanding Officer is going to erect a building for us off of
the post so that we may have liquor in the club. Liquor rationing is very
strict over here. It is almost impossible to get a drink over here.
The Pubs over
here open twice a day for an hour at a time, usually between 12:00 PM &
1:00 PM and 05:00 PM to 0600 PM. What a battle it is to get a glass of beer,
the bar is lined up three deep. With our club, we will be able to buy our own
ration for our own use. The liquor will be our main drawing card. Besides
liquor we are going to have a short order cook. All in all we should have a very
nice club.
Do not forget
to send me some golf balls as soon as possible. I will be able to play quite
often if I get some balls. The cost for playing is very slight. It is a very
good way of getting some fun over here, and if you do not want me to get me an
Aussie gal friend to amuse myself with, you had better see that I get some
balls.

Between
writing, the club, golf, and my Company duties, I am sure that I will be kept
busy enough so that the gals will not interest me too much. Of course I still
appreciate a good looking gal, and a well shaped leg, and up.
Yesterday
being Memorial Day, we sent a detail to a military cemetery. I went along to
participate and see what was going on. All branches of the service were
represented and it was rather impressive in a small way.
The last
letter that I received was #13 which came Saturday.
Beautiful, I
love you with all my heart. I am lonesome for the love and affection that you
have always shown me. For the first month after my return, you will devote your
entire time to me. And from then on you must always be close by as I will need
you so much when I return.
Regards to
everyone & kiss the babies for me.
Your Loving
& Devoted husband
Bob
