Dearest
Kitten:
As the
holidays draw closer, my thoughts are ever wandering back to the hustle and
rush of past years and I seem to fail to warm up with the expectations that
these future events used to arouse in me. It perhaps is mainly due to the fact
that I will be so far from the ones that I desire to be with during these
times.
Gosh but I
love you Sweetheart. It is a sad fact that I am afflicted with that fatal
disease called love. It is fatal because I will have to go through all my life
with love in my heart. Funny but I do not mind it a bit. In fact seeing as you
are the cause, I like it very much.
From now on
please do not send your manuscripts to me. I am not a publisher. Just kidding
you about the long letter that you wrote to me. Boy what a pip. Eighteen pages
long is a very large letter. Thanks I enjoyed it very much.
Your husband
has been busy as a little beaver. Everything seems to happen at once. You know
that saying, it never rains but what it pours. Same way in the army. Everything
goes along O.K. and then all at once there are a thousand and one things that
have to be done.
Getting real
ambitious lately aren’t you?
Have you
gotten Bobby to wash his own hands and face? He certainly is growing up fast.
Remember when I used to give him his exercise on the bathenette. How he used to
laugh. And Barby, that little flirt, just like her mother. Gosh but I miss
them. I am missing the fun of watching my children grow up. When this is all
over, I hope to make up for it though.
You want to
take advantage of every day possible. Whenever it is nice out, go out and enjoy
the day. Soon it will be too cold for you to go out and stay very long, so at
every opportunity enjoy the outdoors.
I hope that
we may be able to live in the country after this as it will be better for the
youngsters. They will be healthier and better off all around in the country.
Say who is
this heel that you lost? Oh pardon me, I see now that it was the heel of your
shoe.
Just like her
mother, Barby is starting young isn’t she. David had better watch out or he
will be henpecked like me.
The next time
that you see Charlie, tell him that I had nothing to do with it, even if Tess
does want to give a boy my name.
Roger is
lucky to be put in the Navy. He will be a lot better off than in the Army with
his sight.
I will send
another ring for Barby. So do not feel too bad about it.
Was sorry to
hear about Paul Couture. From now on you will be hearing more and more about
casualties as our men are really in the thick of it now. I would like to write
Mrs. Gagnon a letter but I do not have her address. If you can find it for me,
please send it.
What do you
mean that through Barby you will be living your childhood over again? When did
you grow up?
How many times
must I tell you not to jump at conclusions. When my mail stops for a while then
you can give it a few thoughts, but every time that something happens, stop
thinking that I am right in the middle of it.
You are very
fortunate that there are a few honest people left in the world. You had better
get a new catch on your bracelet as soon as possible.
Well
Sweetheart I must close now as duty calls. I love you Beautiful Wife. Regards
to everyone and kiss the babies for me.
Your Loving
Devoted & Faithful Husband,
Bob
