Hi Darlin’,
Just a short one
tonight as I wrote you all of the news last night and you haven’t been keeping
up too well on your writing either. The reason I say this is because I received
#30 yesterday and #31 today - #30 written Mar. 12th, and #31 written
Mar. 16th. That was last service on #31 – only six days. You can
write at least every other day, can’t you? I won’t complain as long as you do
that. Am expecting a long period of
silence now, for I am so up-to-date with your letters.
I saw a very
entertaining picture this afternoon – “Bride By Mistake” with Larraine Day. Am
sure you’ve seen it as it was playing in the States before I left, I believe.
Went alone as the rest of the boys’ were flying and the many
amusing incidents throughout the picture kept me laughing all the way
through. Almost felt a part of the show, as it struck so close to home.
I’m sure we won’t have so many difficulties, though.
Am glad you are getting lots of Spring weather,
as it’s wonderful for the morale. It has been warm here all week, and for a
change the sun has been shining. Will still take it for Spring in Virginia with you – and I hope soon.
Well, it looks like Easter is about here and will probably, by the time
you receive this. Wish I could be there with you in the Easter Parade. Know
you’ll be the sweetest one in it. I don’t believe we’ve ever been
together on Easter, have we? How did I ever miss so many wonderful days with
you? We’ll have a lot to look forward to, and each day will have a
special significance in our hearts. Here’s wishing you the happiest Easter
possible. We should all remember its true meaning and feel humble.
Am only flying about one out of every three
missions now, so don’t expect me too soon. It’s true I don’t have many more, but
when you start flying lead you can’t fly any other position. It won’t be too
long, though, so I won’t miss those six months far.
Goodnight,
Darling, and please write often. Am missing you and loving you with all my
heart.
All my love,
Jimmy
