Dearest
Kitten:
The weather
is much nicer today and I feel almost cool it is only about 90 degrees.
According to the daily paper, Monday it reached 100 degrees. Nice cool weather
huh?
Today I
received a package from my daughter and one from Mrs. Foley. The stuff is
piling up so much on me that I do not know what to do with it all.
Complying
with a suggestion offered by one of the officers I had a sign made and put a
big box in our day room. Anything in the line of sweets or anything that the
men receive that they do not want we are collecting in the box and are going to
give to the poor children of the city. It may sound funny to you that we should
want to give it away, but everyone is receiving more candy, and cookies than we
can eat, so rather than throw it away, we will give it to someone who will use
it.
I am keeping
the candy that is boxed as it is in good shape, but the way some of the other
stuff reaches us is a crime. That our people should spend their money when we
either throw or give it away is too bad.
The slippers
that your mother sent me will come in handy around the barracks. Thanks for the
T shirts.
Sgt.
Nicholson and myself had some Campbells soup Tuesday night. The first soup from
the states we had had except for the few cans that you had sent me. We never
get soup for chow as it is impossible to handle the stuff when the men are
eating out of mess gears.
You
mentioning Andre, brought back my first furlough from Florida to my mind. My
feelings during that time is hard to describe. I hope that I never have to go
through another experience like that.
Reading about
the Laurier club makes me homesick. Sure wish that I were in a position to take
you down to see the floor show occasionally.
The next time
I send you a joke, I will also include a map. I always gave you the benefit of
the doubt as to whether you were as dumb as you look. Here you go spoiling it.
On re-reading
your request for a stuffed Koala bear, I noticed that you seem to want a real
one that is stuffed. I doubt if there are any available, I do not know for
sure. There is something else that I have in mind for you so please be patient.
There are two
packages on the way. You may have received them already, then again it is hard
to tell how long it will take them to reach you.
To reach the
race track that your friend was telling you about, we have to travel quite a
way. There is a camp near the track that we have to pass by.
The doctor
does not seem to be doing you much good. He is good, but this time he is
slipping. Having the two children inoculated was the one thing that relieved me
a great deal. What a time Bobby and I used to have while waiting for the
doctor. We would go round and round.
What is this
about Bobby being afraid of a girl? Don’t tell me that he is going to be a
sissy.
Didn’t I
always say that Lowell was lousy? Letting Lawrence beat them on Thanksgiving
day. They ought to be ashamed of themselves.
Where is
Salem St? I do not seem to remember where it is.
The heat is
knocking some fat off of me so do not worry about my getting so fat that I will
not have a lap.
With every
day that passes my love for you grows. How I could possibly love you more is a
mystery to me, but it seems to be growing deeper into me.
Give my regards
to everyone and kiss the babies for me. I love you Sweetheart.
Your Loving
Devoted & Faithful Husband,
Bob
