Dearest
Kitten:
From the
letters that I have been getting from you, I take it that my wife is still very
ambitious. Painting, sewing, and cleaning, you sure are doing quite a job on
our house. Too bad that I am not present so that I can appreciate it. It makes
me very happy that you take so much pride in always improving our home. The
time will come when we will have our own home.
Do you know
that your husband is madly in love with you and can hardly wait for the day
when he can take you in his arms again. Funny guy this husband of yours, all he
wants is to be sent home. Nobody can blame him, seeing that the most beautiful
wife in the world is waiting for him.
You’re so
understanding, how could I help but love you. Even though you hate to write
letters, every day you manage to write a letter to me, because you know how
much I look forward to your letters.
I can imagine
how the little girl upstairs must have been with the two indians that we have.
Poor kid was probably frightened to death.
By the way, I
received a box from Estelle and it was just what I asked for - peppermint patties. She sent me four pound boxes from Pages. The piece that I had was very
good. I am only kidding. I passed one box around and got the empty box in
return. Have started my second box. They were in very good condition in spite
of crossing the equator. Candy from the old country sure tastes good. Funny but
I have very little craving for candy. After a meal a peppermint pattie tastes
good though.
The wheel barrow
is a very nice toy as it helps exercise almost all muscles of the body. I am
glad that Bobby likes to play with it. Maybe the youngsters believe in the
saying that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. It is partly your own fault
for going back to bed and leaving them up. The sin of the apple theft will be
on your conscience.
Tell Lorraine
D. that taking care of somebody else’s baby is a very poor way of satisfying
her motherly instincts. Tell her that any time she wishes that I can take care
of the matter and guarantee results.
What back pay
is it that Mother got? It was a nice amount to get just before Xmas anyhow.
It is about
time that they fixed the ceiling for you. Gosh I will probably go right past
the house if there are many more improvements.
One question
if I may, you say that you hemtoned the walls. What is hemmtoned? Please spell
it.
Now for some
news of what I did. Late Saturday afternoon I was wilting from the heat so I
grabbed my bathing suit and went in town to a swimming pool. I followed the
directions that one of my Sgts gave me on how to get there and made it without
getting lost. They are called baths over here. Beach bathing is called surfing.
Sunday
morning I got up early and went down to the Red Cross. They send out a couple
of trucks to the beach each Sunday and a couple more out to a mountain. They
have picnic lunches and have a good time. I went to the beach and wore myself
out swimming.

We had quite a chat. She got a big kick out of the pictures that I carry of my family.
For lunch we
had hot dogs, cheese, tomatoes, celery & soft drinks. I enjoyed myself very
much.
Give my regards
to everyone and kiss the babies for me. I love you Sweetheart.
Your Loving
Devoted & Faithful Husband,
Bob
