Saturday 21 April 1945



Dearest Kitten:
Gosh but I love you Sweetheart and miss you from the bottom of my heart. How I wish that you were by my side so that I could touch you and talk to you. What a pleasure that would be.
I received letter #253 today. Getting poetic huh? The poem was very nice and I appreciated it very much as it explains the way we both feel.
Sorry to have caused you so much grief with the picture. Her name is Martha and we had a nice long talk about our loved ones and she thought the youngsters were adorable. I know that you will understand that we enjoyed our talk as our main subject is both our favorite one, that happens to be you for me and her husband for her.
I only wish that you could be with me Sweetheart. There is nothing that would make me happier. Let’s hope that the day when we will be together again for good is not too far distant.
By the time that you receive this letter you should have received the flowers for our anniversary. How did you like the little note?
How can I forget any of the good times that we had together. They are always with me in a very wishful way. I am always wishing for those times to return, but I always satisfy myself by thinking of the good times we will have when I return home.
How would you like to live in New Hampshire up in the White Mt. district? I have been thinking about how much I would like to run a small hotel where we could have both summer and winter guests. Swimming & boating in summer, hunting in fall, fishing in spring and skiing & skating in winter. It will take some doing but I hope that we may be able to swing it. Oh well, I may wind up as a travelling salesman yet.
You should not spoil Barbara so much. There may come a time when you will be sorry that you are unable to leave her with someone else when you wish to go somewhere without her.
I was rather nasty in the letter that I wrote to you, but it was the way that I felt at the time. I got over it though. Please forgive me as I hate to do anything to hurt you. I trust you Sweetheart but it is the rest of the world that I do not trust.
We have built a volleyball court and installed lights on it. We are now building a tennis court and basketball court together. All the work is being done with the few men that we have left after all other details have been taken care of.
If you can, please send me some face towels. I can not seem to hang onto them. I must be supplying the men in the company with face towels.
Tomorrow I have to go to a memorial service with half the company. The services are being held in the city hall and we have to send a certain number of men to attend the services in honor of our late president.

Sgt. Routson who is very handy at most everything and is a carpenter by trade made me a stainless steel band for my wrist watch. Remember the snap on band that I used to have that was covered with leather? Well it is made on the same principle. It is much better than a cloth or leather strap, especially for tropical duty as perspiration rots leather & cloth very rapidly.
Well, Sweetheart I must close. I love you with all my heart, Beautiful. Give my regards to everyone and kiss the babies for me.
How I miss you Darling.
Your Loving Devoted & Faithful Husband,
Bob
