Dearest
Kitten:
I love you
very much and wish that I were home right this minute. This army has been
getting me down. I am fed up but just have to keep plugging along at it hoping
that things will soon change for the better.
From your
letters, I see that Bobby is rapidly learning self reliance. It is always a
good thing to teach a youngster how to take care of himself. You seem to be
doing a very good job of raising our children, without my help.
You asked if
there was anything I needed, well, yes there is. Please send me my Army
discharge if you can manage it. That is the only thing that I need to make me
the richest man in the world. A man is indeed a rich man who has a loving
Faithful wife such as I am fortunate enough to have.
About four
days ago one of the men came into the orderly room with a monkey. It was given
to him by a soldier that was going to the States. He tried to take the monkey
with him but the officials would not allow it. He gave my man the name and
outfit of the man he wanted to give it to. I phoned and left a message where he
could pick up the monkey. This morning he came after him. We had a great deal
of fun with him and had gotten attached to the little tike. We hated to
let him go.
No you had not told me
about André and Estelle were not going to move near her sisters. It must be a
very nice place. Sounds nice anyhow.
Can you imagine my surprise
when Lt. Donohoe walked into the Orderly Room two days ago. One of our men took
him to shore from a transport and informed him where to find us. He left
yesterday after staying overnight.
I can understand why you
got disgusted the way some of the Servicemen act when they are away from home.
They think that it is necessary to act fresh simply because they are in
uniform.
There is a Novena going
on for Service personnel that I would like to attend but I have a meeting every
night with my platoon sergeants and it usually lasts until it is too late to
get to the chapel.
There are rumours that
Japan is getting ready to holler quits. I only hope that it is so. It can not
come too soon to suit me.
The news is very
encouraging anyhow. The Navy certainly are pounding the hell out of Japan. Wish
that I could be there to see them do it.
Sweetheart, I had a
beautiful dream about you this morning just before I woke up. Was I mad when I
woke up to find that it was only a
dream. Boy was I loving you, wow.
Give my regards to all
the folks and kiss the babies for me. I love you, My Darling wife.
Your Loving
Devoted & Faithful Husband,
Bob
