June 19, 1943: Speak to Madge

Darling Madge:

Gee honey here it is the 19th already, our time is real short now.  I hope everything is still ok with you.  It's sure hell to be so far away at a time like this, remember darling if you need me be sure and let the Doctor know, and have him tell the Red Cross, so I can come home in a hurry.

Darling are you beginning to get scared, I hope not, but I am.  Gee Princess I love you, just millions and I always will and if anything should happened and you get very sick I'd never forgive myself.  You mean more than life itself to me.  Honey I don't believe I'd do it this way again, if we had it to do over.  You have been so darn swell about it all, your really one in a million, I wish I was just half as good as you.  I love you Madge, always remember that will you?

My Princess I have an idea of what you will be going thru this next month, I only hope you wont be sorry for it.  I wish it was possible for me to share the pain.  Honey, I wish I could have helped out, but this damn army made it impossible, this is the one time since I've been in that I hate this place.

But I'll pray everyday and know everything will turn out ok for us.  Madge when you are out to the hospital  if you get feeling bad try to think of all the happiness, we will have when this war is over.  I'll do my very best to try and make your life comfortable and happy.

Our baby will be the best in the world, and we'll be the proudest and happiest couple aliving, won't we.

darling, I can't think of much to write about now, but will try to write again after mail call.  Bye darlings, you an and the baby.

Yours forever,

Speak

June 17, 1943: Speak to Madge

Darling Madge:

     Well toots yesterday was the first day, I've missed writing for quite awhile, I had to take some more advanced training.

     Honey believe it or not, I made an 85 in electrical systems, it sure surprised me.  we are in the fuel systems now, it should be real interesting, I believe I'll like it alot.

     Made I'm glad you are still able to go visiting, and I hope the baby won't hold you down too much.  Then maybe you can still go out once in awhile after it gets here.

     I'll sure be glad to take that trip up to Bingham, when I get my furlough.  And I'd like to go fishing, but I won't want my time doing that, if I only get a few days at home.

     Hey we don't care about that thermos jug, we'll get another someday.  It probably got broke when we moved last.  So don't bother about trying to get another unless you need it.

     Honey it will be swell to have Murray and Bernice live in our home.  what's the matter with the place there in now, it it to small?  Hey I though Ken A. was in the service, how come he's home?  Is he working in town?

     Honey it seems like everyone but the guys that came in when I did have had one.  But I don't mind so much, as I've had it kinda easy since I got in.  Hey why don't you and Wanda get together, I had a letter from her, but she calls you.  That was awful nice of Loris to give you such a swell present.  I'll bet it'll come in darn handy.

     It's sure swell Uncle Lee will get to see his brother, it has been a long time since they were together.  I haven't received a letter from Follis or Geo for about two months, maybe they have a broken arm?

     Well honey, I haven't much to write about, but I do really hope and pray everything will be alright with you, when the baby gets here.  I sure hope you get by as easy as Lela did.  Any I know out baby will be the best in the world, cause its Mother is.  I'll always keep on loning ya a little more each day.  Just think Princess it has been 6 months since I last seen you over at P.G. remember?  Gee I was about ready to cry wasn't I?  It seems ages since that day.  But we'll be together again soon, and have a grand time even if it's a short furlough.

     Honey I miss you tons and tons, it will take more than a war to make me leave you again.  So just think when I get back for good you'll have me on your hand for life, can you take it?

     Madge, I'll send you a list of guys to send the announcement cards to, but it won't be very many.  You know who to send them too, there at home.

     Well my two swell girls, it's time for school again, so I better quit for now.  Give all my love to the folks.  Tell Jesse thanks for the letters, I'll write her when I get time.

     Bye till tomorrow Princess, I love you.

     Yours Forever,
