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 dearest no mail so far today but I am sure hoping that some comes in before the day is over. Gosh Honey those two I received yesterday were so darn sweet and precious, just like all your wonderful letters are dolly. They mean the world and all to me dearest and they are so darn sweet. Gosh Honey they make me so awful darn happy and make me feel so wonderful all over. Gee but they give me the grandest feeling dearest. You had been getting my mail up good until I made this move I am sure anxious to hear from you and you are getting my mail from here dear. I sure hope yours is coming in as good as mine has dearest. Gee darling it will be so darn wonderful when we are back in each others arms and won’t have to write letters any more. You are so darn sweet dearest and I love you so awful, awful much, my sweet little dolly aren’t you dearest.
I am feeling fine now dearest and getting along all right in every way now. I have plenty of everything now dearest. Well Honey it is a pretty nice day here a little breeze but plenty hot. I sure will be glad when I am out of these tropics and back in your precious arms and a swell climate dear. I sure hope you are having some nice weather now darling. Gosh Honey we will be so awful, awful happy when we are back in each others arms and can really start our life together and dearest we will have so darn much fun doing everything.
Honey dear you said in one of your latest letters that you was going to try to get our room at the Pickwick Hotel Gosh honey it sure would be swell if you could cause like you said dearest I could get right off the bus there and come right on up to our room and you could do the same right dearest. You will have your suit case dear and you wouldn’t have to worry with it all, right off the bus and right up to your room. Then it would be real handy when we got ready to leave too dearest cause we could go right down and get on the bus to go out to your place or home wither one and if we did happen to go out home before we spent a week or so we would be right there to catch the bus out and then get off right there at our room. I’ll bet it will be a good week though before we ever leave our room for over a half hour or so and that will just be for a meal or something like that right Honey. Darling we want to get up several floors if we can, don’t you think dear. When we was there at the Baker we was almost on the top floor and gee it was so swell, no noise much and you can see for so far. You said they had room service there to dear, gosh Honey we wouldn’t even have to go out for our meals unless we wanted to. I don’t imagine we will do a lot of eating any way darling, cause we will be too busy in each others arms, right Honey. Honey dear we want to be sure and have a radio to don’t you think so if we can’t get one with our room maybe you could tuck your little one in your suit case, don’t you think Honey. Gosh Honey isn’t it wonderful the way we have everything all planned and gee it is so wonderful for us to be planning our meeting so perfect. That is our dream of months and months dear and Honey we are going to do things just like we want to and we aren’t going to worry about cost of anything either dear. We have done without our pleasures and happiness for going on three years now dearest and darling we are going to live in luxury and really enjoy ourselves when we do get back in each others arms. Gosh Honey I am so darn happy you got your new black robe and I know it is really beautiful dearest. Gee but it will be wonderful when I walk into your sweet arms dearest and we can stay that way as long as we wish. Gosh Honey isn’t it wonderful to think about and to know that our day is coming in the near future. We will be so awful, awful happy dearest and everything will be so wonderful.
Honey you was saying that you was going to take your vacation this month or next and I am sure glad you are dearest. You really need the rest dearest and I sure want you to take your vacation now. And like you said darling if you leave you won’t be able to get your money and this way you will get it. You said you thought you would just stay home and sew and do things like that that you didn’t have time for now. Darling I want you to do just what ever you want to and enjoy yourself in any way you want to dear. Gosh Honey you have been working so darn hard and sure do need the rest. Won’t it be swell when we can take our vacations together dear and go where ever we want to and do what ever we want to. I sure never will forget that last vacation you took dearest. Gosh Honey we just couldn’t hardly leave each other and we knew we would only be away from each other for a couple of weeks. God but I was glad when I came to see if you were home yet and saw that Norma’s car was there. Then when we went up on the hill we were so darn happy to be together, the tears were there just like they was when we left each other. Gee darling just think how heavenly it will be now after all this time. We will be so awful, awful darn happy dearest and everything will be so darn wonderful.
Honey dear you are so darn wonderful in every way and I love you so awful, awful darn much and dearest you know I always will. You are so darn sweet and so precious in every way dolly. Gee darling isn’t it wonderful to be married and really know what married happiness is. We sure wouldn’t be as happy as we are now dearest if we weren’t married. I know that there isn’t or never will be a happier married couple than us dear. Darling I know our first embrace will be one of the longest and most wonderful ones we ever had. Gee but it will be heavenly dearest. Honey I know God hears our prayers and will keep us safe and bring us together as soon as possible now. Please take wonderful care of my precious parts Honey. I love them so awful darn much and they are so wonderful. Yours are fine dolly miss you so awful darn much. You are the sweetest and most adorable little wife in this world dolly and I love you so awful, awful darn much and dearest you know I always will.
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 dolly. Please be awful, awful careful now dearest and take wonderful care of my precious little wife. Remember now dolly chin up and always happy. Tell everyone hello dolly and tell all to write.

Loads and loads of love to my dearest darling wife I love so awful awful much.
