Saturday 25 Nov. 1944

Dearest Kitten:
I am having a hard time to concentrate on this letter. You see I am writing this at my desk and bordering the paper is snapshots of you and the children. All I have to do is move my eyes ever so slightly and there are pictures of my loved ones.
Do you know how much I love you? How deep is the ocean? How high is the sky? Despite letter #144 I am still head over heels in love with you. Impatient woman, slow down before you blow a gasket. What will you be like when you have to wait two or three months before you hear from me. The Lord help me, you will probably skin me alive in your letters.
It seems that a traveling salesman was very discouraged with his wife as every weekend when he would return home she was filthy, the house was filthy, and the kids were filthy. He decided to kill his wife and upon reading about a man killing his wife with too much sex relations, decided that was the best way to kill her off. All one week he got to bed early, ate raw eggs, oysters and everything to build him up. Upon arriving home that Saturday, he started in on his wife. He even kept her in bed all day Sunday. Monday morning he was half dead but figured that he had made a good start, and given a couple more weekends and a chance to recuperate through the week, he would be making good progress. The following Saturday night he walks into his home all primed for his wife and behold. His wife is all spruced up, the house is immaculate, the children are clean and his wife looks like she did before he married her.
Unable to curb his curiosity longer, he asked her how come all the improvements. And what did she answer but: “You treat me right and I’ll treat you right.”
Was I surprised to read that Bobby helps you with the dishes. It is good training as well as a help to you.
Yep, just keep hoping and use a little patience and our day will come. Maybe sooner than either of us expect.
Sorry to hear about your tooth but that is what you get for giving your husband hell. Bad on you. You should be more patient with your poor henpecked husband.
We are getting to have quite a library. By the time I get home, we sure will have quite a home if you keep it up.
Sweetheart, I am seriously thinking of sending some money to be put into a joint savings account, rather than buying a bond every month. The idea being so that we will have some ready cash upon my return home. Sound O.K. to you?
I must close Sweetheart. This letter has taken me just six (6) hours to compose. Do you wonder why I hate to start a letter. The only way that I can get a little peace is to get out of the Company.
Give my regards to everyone and kiss the babies for me Sweetheart. I love you so much Darling.
Your Loving Devoted & Faithful Husband,
Bob

P.S. Am going to a football game tomorrow.
