Tuesday Oct. 19, 1943



Dearest Kitten
How I yearn for you. To be able to hold you in my arms again, would be like a cool drink to a thirsting man. How I plan and look forward to the day when we will be together again. A kiss from you would be a priceless gift to me. The yearning in my heart is only bearable because I know that we will be together again soon and forever. I am impatient for that day when we will be reunited.
Keep praying for that furlough. I may get it yet. We all have high hopes for it, but as yet there is still nothing official.
No letter today but it may be the mail's fault.
Was sorry to hear about Barbara not feeling much better. Poor youngster, everything seems to happen to her at the same time.
I received Mother's letter and have answered. She should have received it by now.
You may be wondering what I am doing all day long. Today it was nothing special other than getting the boats in shape. I do nothing other than supervise.
Tomorrow I am detailed as an instructor on a boat. We are giving demonstrations to the infantry and it is my job to tell them all about them. Also I must answer all of their questions if possible. So tonight I have to prepare notes. It seems, that lately, there is always something I have to attend to. For the next ten days my mail may be scarce so please forgive me as it will not be my fault.
X@IFX@ D--! another meeting.
I love you but must leave you.
Regards to all & kiss the babies for me.
Your Loving, Devoted, & Faithful Husband
Bob
