Dearest Mary:

Just a few lines to let you know that I am well and miss you more all the time.

Darling, I received the package you sent me today and I hardly know how to thank you for everything.  The cakes were just fine and the sweater fit just perfect.  I can’t thank you enough now but wait till I come up there.  The pictures were all fine and the mirror was O.K.  Dearest, how are you getting along since I left you?  I hope you are well and feeling fine.  Let me know how every thing is when you answer this.  Darling, I hope you received the money I sent in the letter yesterday.  I am sending you some more in this one, Dearest, and I sure hope you get it for I know you can use it.

Dearest, I haven’t been looking for a place for you yet, but Mary Darling, I will look as soon as I can.  Oh Darling I only wish you were here with me tonight.  Dearest when I get up there with you again we will sleep in the other room.  You know the one I mean.  Where I slept once before with the small bed.  I can hold you in my arms Darling and I will try and catch up on the kisses you sent me.  Do you think I will be able to, Darling?

Dearest, what did the girls in the office have to say when Anna came back to work?  I bet you had some time, didn’t you Darling?

Today Hank received about fifteen letters from Betty.  They sure must of held them up some place.  Darling I sure hope I get the one that you send me a lot sooner for they mean every thing to me, Dearest.

Darling, the letter that I am answering now you said you was getting impatient for someone.  Dearest, when I see you again every thing will be alright if it is the way you want it for I feel the same way now.  Darling, I don’t have much to say tonight so this will have to be a short note.  The only thing that I can say is that I miss my Darling Wife more and more all the time and I hope and pray that it won’t be long till we can be together all the time, just the family and us.

Good Night Darling.
All My Love and lots of Kisses from Your Loving Lonely Husband
Harry.
