Hello Sweetheart:

I love you and do miss you so much.  This is my first Vmail letter.  I have several other letters written and already to send; so, Darling, you can send me your address anytime.  I’m so anxious to hear from you & will enjoy your letters so much, I know.  Do hope everything is all right with you.

June & I had our interviews with the Red Cross Staff today, & they will send us a card telling us when to report for their course.  I think it will be interesting work & am looking forward to doing my part in this war.  I shopped around with June.  She bought a new Spring suit, and I did get myself a cute white blouse to wear with my old suit.  I do have plenty to wear now, but do want a new black straw hat & (dare I mention it??) a pair of black shoes.  It gives me a “lift” to have something new once in a while; though I’m not a bit enthused about buying clothes when you’re not here to notice them.

We’re waiting for Aud. to get home for supper.  I have things ready, but will have to warm them up now, as had expected her earlier.

The only objection I have to this V-mail is that there really isn’t much space for a letter, & am afraid I won’t receive long letters from you; but then, if you write often enough, that will make up for it.  Right now, I’d be more than satisfied with even a little short note from you.  Darling, I do love you more everyday in every way.  Please be careful.  I’m waiting anxiously for you & everyday will bring us that much closer.

Love,
Bev
