Dearest Sweetheart
This being an
anniversary of ours, I am writing to let you know that I am still very much in
love with you. It does not seem like years that we have been married. It is
more like weeks than anything else.
Let me know
how this letter turns out. With my typing and the rocking of the boat, it will
be a miracle if you will be able to decipher it.
Forgive me
for not being able to send you anything but my love to you on this very
important day. Remember when I told you that on this day of every year we would
take the day off and have a good time by ourselves? Little did I dream that a
war would separate us so quickly. With good luck and the grace of God our
separation will only be for a very short duration.
Fortunately I
am not and do not expect to get seasick. A great many of the men have been
seasick but they will live I guess.
If you can,
please send me some cigarette lighter flints. Some peanuts that are packed in
cans would go very nicely too.
Your money
reached me OK and thanks. It sure came in handy for I was so flat that it
wasn't any fun. I would have like to have heard you and Eva arguing about
sending your husbands some money. She sure is tight.
This letter
is being typed in the troop commander's office where one of my men works. He
has very kindly let me use the typewriter.
I ran into a
boy from Lowell. His name is Carpenter. We had a nice long talk about home and
everything.
Regards to all
and kiss the babies for me.
Your Loving Husband
Bob
