Dearest
Kitten:
There is
never a day that goes by but that my thoughts turn to you and home a thousand
times in the course of a day. At times it aggravates me, not because I do not
like to dream of you and home, but because it takes me that much longer to
complete whatever I am doing. Sounds funny I know but it is hard to concentrate
on work when your mind is thousands of miles away. Know what I mean?
The men in my
company are going after the record for constructing a barge and it looks like
they are going to set a record that no one will beat. Despite the fact that we
have the fewest men working on a barge per day. A man has to be an awful heel
not to feel a great deal of pride in his men when they show up so well against
the other companies.
Letter #125
& two V-mails came today. I am happy to hear that Andrew is doing well. So
far he is the real veteran of the bunch. Stop being so optimistic about by
getting home in two or three years. Please stop shattering my dreams. I can at
least keep the hope in my breast that it will only be a few more months. In
that way time flies and before you know it, years have passed.
Listen
Sweetheart, you had better stick to your diet so that you will be able to hold
me when I return home. You treat me right and I will treat you right. Remember
that story?
You sure are
getting company these days. Seems like everybody that you know has been up to
see you the last few days.
How would you
like to have me paint the rooms? I sure would be only glad to help you if I
could.
So Bobby has
pulled a fast one huh? He must have looked funny when he came into the house
sucking on the fudgsicle.
I got a boot
out of Andrew’s letters. He reminds me of my own shortcoming, inability to
write a letter. Already I have been an hour on this letter. See what I mean
when I say that I lack the time to write. It takes me so long that I actually
dread writing a letter to anyone, even you. When I finally finish this letter I
will tell you how long that it took me and perhaps you can understand why I am
unable to write once a day or oftener as I would like to.
Well, thanks
for giving me the date that I will be back home. Wow did you say three more
children? Woe is me, what a beating I’m going to take.
Did you say
that I will receive about twenty boxes? Popular guy, aren’t I?
Goodnight,
Sweetheart, I love you will all my heart. Give my regards to everyone &
kiss the babies for me.
I love you
Sweetheart.
Your Loving
Devoted & Faithful Husband,
Bob
