Dearest Sweetheart:
It is a
little over a day since I called you up and I am rather lonesome to hear your
voice again. With any luck at all you will hear from me again before this
letter reaches you.
After calling
up yesterday I had very rough going before being able to settle down to work.
See, just hearing your voice does things to me. By that you can judge what
seeing you would and does to me. What I would give just to be able to hold you
in my arms and tell you of my great love for you.
Now for some
information about some of the sights that I saw on our trip here.
First we saw
the swamps of La. and Missouri, nothing very interesting about them. The sights
began when we hit Kansas City, Mo. The middle west is very interesting. From
rolling plains to towering mountains. The mountains had snow on the tops. The
state of Colorado is a very beautiful state to pass through. We stopped at
Colorado Springs one morning and we could see Pikes Peak. The City of Colorado
Springs is a very beautiful city. It is situated at the base of a range of
mountains and is a very nice sight to see.
We passed by
the great Salt Lake. It is like a small sea in the middle of a range of
mountains.
Eight
thousand feet above sea level is a long way up and we were up that high when we
went over the great divide. My ears felt rather queer for awhile. Being up that
high makes you conscious of your breathing. It seems that you have to take a
deeper breath.
Now for some
news about censoring and what to expect from me when and if I ever get
overseas.
First,
incoming mail is not censored so you do not have to worry about that. As you
can see I have not let the censor bother me too much. Especially about how much
that I love you. I do you know. I did not just marry you for your money.
In a few days
I am going to fix up my allotments. As I told you before I am going to take out
an allotment for a fifty dollar war bond and sixty five dollar allotment to
you.
In case that
you receive a cablegram from me occasionally, it will only be to let you know
that I am well and OK, because there will be times when I will be unable to
write as often as I would like, and I will want you to know that I am still up
and around.
You will be
receiving a great many requests for a box. The box can not exceed five pounds
or thirty six inches in combined length and circumference.
With luck I
may be able to get out of camp. If I do I hope to be able to get to San
Francisco.
Well
Beautiful, I have to close with all my love.
Your Loving,
Devoted, and Faithful Husband
P.S. Regards
to all and kiss the babies for me.
