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. Gee darling I received another precious letter from you yesterday evening, that made me two yesterday and I was so thrilled to get them darling. They were so awful sweet and precious dear, just like all your wonderful letters are. Gosh Honey your precious letters mean the world and all to me and they are so darn sweet. They make me so awful, awful happy dearest and make me feel so wonderful all over. Gosh darling it gives me the grandest feeling all over when I get your precious letters. Honey dear I sure hope you are getting my mail all right now. You are so darn sweet dearest and I love you so awful, awful darn much.

            I am feeling fine now dearest and getting along all right in every way now. I have plenty of everything now. Well Honey it is a pretty nice day here, awful hot though. It sure has been awful hot this past few days, sure hope it cools off now. Sure hope you are having some nice weather now dearest. Well I worked last nite, sure was some nite. Moving big rocks and is it ever a job. I never saw such a rocky place in my life. Everything they do they have to blow it with dynamite. Gosh Honey it will be so darn wonderful when I am back in your sweet arms and can forget all about all this. We could be having so darn much fun if we was together now darling. It is always so darn nice in the spring and gee darling we will sure enjoy it when we do get back in each others arms.

            Darling you was saying that you had a pain in your left side sometimes when you done a lot of walking. Gosh Honey I sure hope it isn’t anything very bad. You be sure and see the nurse now dear and if it keeps on I want you to be sure and go see a doctor. Gosh Honey I sure hope it isn’t anything serious now. Please be awful, awful careful now dearest and take wonderful care of my sweet little wife now. Gee darling won’t it be wonderful when we are back in each others arms and can look after each other in every way. Honey if I was home now I bet I would rub your side and fix you up and really make my little darling feel wonderful. I might go a little below and a little above, how about it dearest. Gosh Honey won’t it be heavenly when we are in each others arms and can really start our life together.

            Honey I am so darn lonesome for you and want to see you so darn bad. Our time is coming dearest and we will be so awful, awful happy. Honey you was telling me where you heard a love story over the radio and the couple was so happy and had their first baby. Gosh Honey we would be close to starting our little family now if this hadn’t of come up. We have a good start in life now dearest and after this is all over and we get straightened out we will be ready for our twins. Gosh Honey how I hope our dream comes true and we can have twins. Yes Honey this is just a test for us to see if we can stand it just like it is for a lot of other couples. Our love is true love dearest and straight from the heart and as you said dearest we won’t be happy until we are back in each others arms. Honey there is so many troubles going on between couples now. Most of it is money and the sex problem I guess. There is so many people making extraordinary money now that never made good money before in their life and they get big ideas and it usually winds up with them getting in with some other man or woman. Then the other is just like we have wrote before dear and some people just think that it is impossible to do without but if they had any love for their mate they wouldn’t even be thinking about such a thing. We have our minds on each other dearest and how wonderful it will all be when we get back in each others arms. We will start making up for all this lost time as soon as we get in each others arms dearest and I’ll bet in a very few minutes after we get together dear. Honey our love has been true love all the time and we always knew we really belonged to each other and that no one else ever entered our minds. We always trusted each other in every way darling and Honey we always will to. Honey I know that there isn’t or never will be a couple that love each other more than we do. We mean everything to each other darling and our whole life is built around each other. Gee darling I am so thankful to God for giving me you. Honey you are such a precious little wife so sweet and so perfect in every way and I love you so awful darn much dearest.

            Yes darling we are going on a shopping tour for you when I get home and darling I certainly do mean all those things you mention. You left out one item though dearest, you know the first piece dear, your purse sure used to catch them a lot. I’ll bet you won’t need them when I am home though dear, how about it honey. Darling you certainly are right in saying that we hardly will get out of our room the first week. Gosh no we won’t have any time for sleep dear, cause we are going to e awful busy. Gee darling we have everything planned so perfect. Honey remember when I wrote you about those thirty second uniforms, I’ll bet you are faster dear, how about it Honey, I mean the one for our meeting darling. Gosh Honey I am so glad you got your swell gown and so happy that you thought of that dearest. Honey are you going to bring one of your bunch coats with you to. It will be awful handy sometimes dear and you can have it and your robe sets t. Honey dear it is so darn wonderful to know that we have the most of our waiting over and that our day is coming in the near future.

            Honey you are so darn sweet and I love you so awful, awful darn much and you know I always will dearest. You are so darn sweet and so precious in every way dear. Honey you are so pretty from the tips of my beautiful blonde hair to the tips of my sweet little toes and gee, all mine dear. Remember when I used to slip your shoes off dear and tickle those sweet little feet. I am going to when I get in your sweet arms to dearest, yes I am now darling. 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 dearest, gee but they are wonderful and I love them so darn much. Yours are fine dolly, miss you so awful darn much but they will be together before long Honey. You are the sweetest and most adorable little wife in this world dear and I love you so darn much and always will dearest.

            Well sug I guess I had better close for this time and I’ll write you as soon as possible now dearest. I’ll be looking for your precious letters now dear. Please be awful, awful careful now dearest and take wonderful care of my sweet little wife. Remember now dolly chin up and always happy. Tell all hello now dearest.

            Love and more love to my sweet adorable little angel.

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