Dearest Kitten

How else can I express my feelings for you other than plain, I love you.

Tomorrow morning I take over my new job and I can tell you that I have a job cut out for myself. They, that is the new men, have had their own way so long that when I have to bear down on them, it will be rather tough on them and on myself also.

It will be necessary for me to bear down on them for awhile. It will not be anymore fun for me than for them.

Your letter of Saturday came today and about Bobby being circumcised. The sooner it is attended to, the better.

It sure is taking them long enough to fix your watch. What are they doing? Giving it a complete overhaul job?

Tomorrow night will be a very busy night for me. So forgive me if I do not write. It might even be a few days before I can get around to write again.

Tonight has been a busy night also. So forgive me for not writing more.

I love you and miss you very much. There is very little I would not do to be able to see you again. It will be great to get home on my furlough.

Regards to all & kiss the babies for me.

Your Loving & Devoted & Faithful Husband

Bob
