My Dearest Darling Wife,
Hello sweet
little angel, how is my darling little wife. Awful, awful sweet I know and fine
I hope. You had better be dearest. Well dolly no sweet letters so far today but
I am sure hoping that some comes in before the day is over. I got a nice
Christmas card from the
I am feeling fine now dearest and getting along all right in every way now. I have plenty of everything now dearest. Well darling it is kind of cloudy here today and looks as though we might get some more rain. I sure hope not though. Gee but I would like to see it stay dry for a little while. Sure hope the weather isn’t to cold and bad at home now dear. I sure hope you don’t have long to wait for the bus in the mornings dear. It is so darn cold for you dear and I know your legs really do get cold dear. Gee but I wish I was home so you wouldn’t have to go through all that dear. Honey I’ll bet if you are ever out and get your sweet little legs cold after I get home that I will really warm them up in a hurry. Bet I will dearest. Gee darling you are so darn precious and I love you so awful darn much.
Well dolly twenty eight months ago today we became man and wife and gee how wonderful it has been to really belong to each other dear. We are so happily married dearest and our love for each other grows stronger every day, if it is possible for two people to love each other any more than we have for the past years honey. It is so darn wonderful to think about twenty eight months ago tonite dear and all the wonderful happiness that we had. Our dream of six years came true dear and we were united in marriage. I am so thankful to God that we got our chance dear and our marriage has meant so much to us even though we haven’t been able to be together dear. We wouldn’t of been near as happy as we have been if we hadn’t of been married dearest. Marriage is such a wonderful thing Honey, it means everything to a couple when you love each other like we do dearest. You are such a wonderful little wife dearest and so darn wonderful to me in every way. You are always doing everything in your power for me darling, just the most perfect little wife in this world dear. Honey you are so darn beautiful in every way from the tips of my pretty blond hair to the tips of my sweet little toes. It will be so heavenly when I can hold you in my arms and tell you how really wonderful you are dear just like I did twenty eight months ago tonite only that will not be anything in comparison to what it will be when I get back in your precious arms now dear. It will be so darn heavenly when we are back in each others arms dear and I am out of this thing and we can really start our life together. Gosh honey I am hoping and praying so much that I will be back in your sweet arms sometime this year and that in forty six his whole thing will be over and we can really start our life together. Gee darling you are so precious and gosh all mine, my own little baby doll right dearest.
Honey dear you was telling me about some couple having twin girls Christmas Day. Boy I’ll say we both envy them dear. I’m like you though dear I wouldn’t want it to be on Christmas. Gosh darling it will be so darn swell when we can start out little family and I hope so much that our dream of twins comes true dearest.
Honey dear I sure do hope that the mail starts coming in better. I have been hoping you would say something about this particular place dear. Just about the time things get straightened out though we take off again. I guess we will never stay in one place very long anymore. Been here about three months now and that is about the limit I think. Gee but it will be wonderful to will settle down and stay in one place dear. It sure does get old, this moving every three or four months. This thing is really going along fast over here though and we have to move right along with it. I sure do hope they can get those Germans started back now and keep them going until they end it on that side.
Sure hope this finds you feeling swell dear and everything going along all right in every way at home now. Gee but I hope you are completely over that awful cold and cough dear and I sure hope you don’t have any more trouble this winter dear. Honey if you get to feeling the least bit sick now I want you to see the doctor and stay home and take it easy darling. Please be awful, awful careful dear and take wonderful care of my sweet little wife. Honey I sure hope your work isn’t to heavy now. You said it was really heavy there at Christmas time and you thought you would really have a lot of it when you went back from the Christmas holiday. Please take it easy now dear and don’t work to hard now.
Honey you ought to see the monkeys now. We have got two of them now and boy they sure have a time. The first one they got is really getting mean now. We have all teased it so darn much that it couldn’t be any other way. She sure does show off when there is a bunch of guys around to. Funny how quick an animal picks things like that up and knows when they are drawing attention.
Honey dear you are so darn sweet and I love you so awful, awful much and you know I always will dearest. You are so darn sweet and so precious in every way dolly. Gosh Honey won’t it be wonderful when we can spend every minute of our time together. It will be so wonderful, sleeping in each others arms all nite dearest, so close together and so cozy. Honey dear I am going to hold you so awful, awful tight and just one kiss after another. I’ll bet we are going to have our honey just like the bee to dear. With no towel all nite, right Honey. Darling I know God hears our prayers and will keep us safe and bring us together as soon as possible. Please take wonderful care of my precious parts Honey, gee but they are wonderful and I love them so darn much. Yours are fine dear, miss you so awful, awful much Honey dear you are the sweetest and most adorable little wife in this world and I love you so awful darn much and you know I always will dearest.
Well sug I guess I had better close for this time and I’ll write you as soon as possible now. I’ll be looking for your precious letters now dearest. Please be awful, awful careful now dearest and take wonderful care of my sweet little wife. Remember now dear, chin up and always happy. Tell all hello dear.
Love and more love to my sweet and adorable little angel.
Loads and loads of love to my dearest darling wife I love so much.
