Dream Time

Friday Afternoon

Sept 4, 42

Surprise Darling:

I kinda thought that I would break a tradition by writing to you two days in a row and also try my hand at a typewriter. I hope you will excuse the typewritten letter this time but I haven’t used a typewriter for a long time and I did want to write to you after getting that very sweet letter from you last night. It sure was swell and I can hardly wait until I can get back to you and take you up on the bargain of loving you half to death. I’ll surely do a good job of that for I’m so lonesome for you that I hardly know what to do. Gosh but it’s a hard job waiting and expecting every day to get my orders to start back. Some of these days they will come in when I least expect them and then I’m sure going to be one happy little lad. One thing I know for sure though. I’m so much in love with you that the three day wait is going to be hard to take. But I guess I can take it after waiting for eight long months. (What is this—No mistakes yet, I can’t believe it)

Honey I’d love to visit in Omaha with you and if it is at all possible I kinda figure that you and I will spend a part of our honeymoon there. However I do want to spend as much of it as possible with you, away off somewhere so that no one can disturb us and we can get to know each other as well as the time will permit and so we can live all of our life fully for as long as we can. I want to take you home with me and show you off to all of my friends and I’m sure going to be proud of you. Gee but we’ll have fun and then I can love you to my hearts content and Sweet that’s sire going to be a lot of loving. Every day that goes by and every time I hear a sentimental song I miss you more and more. If I don’t get back to you soon I guess I’ll just about go crazy with wanting to see you. To have you in my arms and kiss you breathless and then carry you off with me so I can have you all to myself to love and adore forever. Sounds very swell to me honey. How about you, are you having any?

I write to you so often anymore that about all I can think of is you and I’m afraid I’m neglecting my friends for you. But when you are in my mind every time I turn around I can’t even concentrate on anything else and so I guess there isn’t much for me to do but let them get along with a letter once in a great while and give you all of my undivided attention. Everyday I get worse and honey if I don’t get to see you soon I’m going to start running around and tearing my hair. So honey you had better keep the letters flowing my way too so that I can keep up on you too. I haven’t gotten a chance to get the rings yet but I am going to if they don’t cost to darned much money. I’ll hate to get a cheap one and in fact I’m not going to if it has to be that kind. I’LL just wait until I get back to Seattle and then buy one. I’d rather get it here though if I possibly can for I’d sure be glad to have you wearing it. Then I’d sorta feel that you really belong to me and I’d have something tangible to go on. But I do want you to stay mine no matter what or how long we have to wait. I am coming back and to you now or any other time. Believe me Darling I’m in love with you with all my heart and I always will be.

I had a letter from Mom last night and she told me about getting your last letter and sending the pictures to you. She says she is anxious to see your picture for I have talked to so much about you in my letters to her. I wrote to her a while ago and I dropped one of those small pictures of you in it, the one of you took in front of the house with the slacks on. Say; just why did you cut part of that one picture off? Something there that you didn’t want me to see or something like that? I was sort of curious so please tell me. I think all of those pictures were good and honey you sure look swell to me. If I only had you in my arms now I’d be about the happiest guy in the world.

Dearest I don’t want you to go and fall for some other guy while I’m not around to protect my rights, that would be a bout the clincher to all of my other troubles—real & fancied and I would have such a hard time taking it that I’d really to go off the beam. You just want to save yourself for me and never let the thoughts of anyone else enter your lovely little head. When I get back I won’t have to worry so much because I’m going to marry you so quickly that you won’t have time to think of anyone else. Gosh hone you mean so terribly much to me. So think of me all the time and you won’t have time to wonder about us. You see I’m really very much gone over you and I guess that I always will be.

I’m going to work now so I’ll have to quit for the time being.

Write to me soon darling and dream of me. I love you so much

Especially for you

Paul……..

P.S. I didn’t do so badly for not having a typewriter for a couple of years. Guess there are only a couple down of those mistakes.

I love you dearest. What do you say in return?
