Hello Sweetheart,

I just had to write you tonight honey, it’s just one of those nights when I get terribly lonesome for you. Oh if only I could have you in my arms on such a lonely night as this. It just does something to me and if I could have you here now I would have everything I wanted. And you’re so beautiful honey that you just do something to me. Remember how I used rest on my arm in bed and admire you lying there just like a doll baby. When you lay your head down in that pillow with your long beautiful hair down to your shoulders and look at me with those gorgeous expressive eyes I sometimes wondered if it just wasn’t a big dream that I was sleeping with such an angel as you are. All you needed was wings Darling and you would have been a perfect angel. I left you an angel Pheety and I’m hoping I come home to one. Are you still that same angel Darling? If you have always loved me like you said I know you are. My biggest dream is to really make you look like a real angel when I come home Darling. If you think I’m kiddin just wait and see what I’m bringing home. Darling I’m going to make my homecoming seem just like a dream to you but Darling can you believe it’s going to all come true! Please save your love for me til that day sweetheart. All my love with all my heart. I love you Margaret.
