Dearest
Kitten
My love for
you is growing greater and deeper with each passing day. It has reached a point
that is a part of me. Without my love for you, I would be like a man without an
arm or a leg. Without my love for you, it would be as if a very essential part
of me was missing.
How else can
I explain my feelings for you?
Your letter
of Monday came today. It made me a bit unhappy to know that Barbara has been so
sick. When you told me about her getting over the whopping cough, I was under
the impression that she was alright. In her condition, I can see why the inoculations
would bother her so much.
A
"Cadry"* is a group of trained men who form the nucleus of a new
outfit. It is the job of the men on a Cadry to teach and train new recruits. Do
you understand now?
I have not
put in for "OCS" because the list is not open for anything.
I would like
to go out on a Cadry for a 5th Brigade. Rumors of a 5th Brigade has died down
lately, so I do not know as there be will one.
How I wish that
I could be home to enjoy my family. There is very little that I would not
sacrifice if I could be allowed to be home with my family. There will be a big
change in my children by the time I do get home again.
It is nice to
know that you go out occasionally and have a good time for yourself. There is
no sense to your staying home all the time. You have to have some recreation. I
only wish that there was some place near here that I could go to and have a
good time but there are none.
You should
not begrudge Bobby the pleasure of christening his new bed. It must have been
funny nevertheless to see him spank himself.
Thanks for
lighting a candle for me. Sunday at Mass I said my beads three times. Once for
myself and twice for my family.
I received
Mother's letter, but I have been so busy the last few days that I have failed
to write. Tonight will be a good time for me if nothing comes up.
We are just
getting our boats back from the other regiments and it will be next week before
we get onto them for good. We go down and work on them but do not do any
formation running or work along those lines.
Last week I
was trying to catch up on all my correspondence.
Eva will change
her mind about a great many things before this is all over. It is no worse for
Al & Andrew than it is for anybody else.
Tomorrow
night I draw C.Q. again and I hope to be able to write to you again before
Saturday.
One of the
men was telling about two trains that leave Tallahassee and go all the way to
Boston express. It takes about twenty seven hours. Just keep on praying for
that furlough. There is nothing new about them though.
Give my
regards to everyone and kiss the babies for me.
Take care of
yourself.
I love you.
Your Loving,
Devoted, & Faithful Husband
Bob
