My Dearest Darling Husband,

            Hello honey dearest hows my precious one, you’d better be fine sweetie and I know my little honey is smarter and more precious than ever too. No mail tonight honey but already hoping for tomorrow night. Gee your letters are so terribly precious honey dear and gosh but they make me feel so terribly wonderful. Gosh when the one you love so much is so far from you, letters mean everything in the world to you. They’ve surely meant everything in the world to us honey. Gosh I love my adorable darling so terribly much-you know I always will too.

            Today was so nice our honey, sun was so bright. We had all the windows in the house open and gee it was so awful being inside. Remember how we’d always go out riding honey and enjoyed it so very much. Won’t it be wonderful honey when we can take trips together and both drive, gosh it’ll be so wonderful and we’ll be so happy.

            It was so nice today, everyone around here was burning the grass and Frank and Mary was one and Daddy was burning ours and then Frank came over and helped Daddy out his out. Mary came over and talked quite a while. They surely are swell people and would do anything for you.

            Well sweetheart darling just finished my mighty work and so I’d finish my little honey’s letter. Darling enclosed is about Clarence and also a swell map showing K.C. Darling how would Sr. Joe before us a room, it isn’t far from Lenneworth, in Atchson. I imagine Sr. Joe would be larger though we’d get more when we went there. Gosh honey its so darn wonderful the way we have it all planned and that just the way we want it to honey. Just think darling its already 9 months since we last saw and kissed each other. Remember that last night in Texas in our room, you had me in your arms and told me I was all you had, I’ll never forget it darling and honey I love you so terribly much. Gee our first meeting will be so terribly wonderful and we’ll be in each others arms both days and nights. Darling gosh the precious parts together after all this time. I’m so terribly lonesome for you sweetheart and boy that old lonesome feeling surely hurts too. It’s been so darn hard on us sweetie, but our furlough will make up for it all, then I’ll get to be with you as long as you are in the states too. Gosh I hope I hear from you tomorrow night honey. The war with Germany surely won’t last much longer. Gosh honey dearest we’ll be so darn happy when that’s over with. I pray so much for your safety, sweetheart, and know our prayers are being answered too. We’ll be in each others arms before very long now dear and know our longest period of waiting is over with too. Gee I never thought we’d be separated this long honey, and it has been so terribly long too. Our meeting will be so heavenly and darling it makes me so happy to think about it. Darling my black robe set and slippers, is that enough? I hope they won’t be on too long after my little honey gets here. The minute you open the door, we’ll be in each others arms darling little honey oh yeah and wherever that follows, you honey won’t it be heavenly. Remember the “cherry” dearest you have to do that darling. Oh gosh it gives me the grandest feeling to just think about it. Please take grand care of my precious parts, so terribly wonderful and all my very own too. Yours are fine sweetie, miss you so terribly much. I love you with all my heart.

            Loads and loads of love to my precious darling husband I love so terribly much.
