Dearest:

I’m still loving you so much – and even more as time goes by.  I sure do miss you, Honey: but it’s going to be so wonderful to have you home again some day soon.  I appreciated every moment we did have together and know I’ll love every moment with you that is to come, because I do love you, Darling.

Audrey came home today raving about how terribly small and tacky Mpls. looks compared to New York.  She had a wonderful time, and says it sure is a let down to come home.  Of course, it is nice to have a home to return to, but boy, it was a let down for me to start living the old routine all over again without you!

Marge, Helena, and I had fun down town last night.  Had our dinner together and then saw a cute movie, but I’ve seen enough pictures now to last me a long time.  We’re all planning on playing golf this summer.  We girls back home have to think of things for amusement, but, Honey, it seems so dull here without you.  I mean that too; because the only time I truly enjoy myself is when I have you right here beside me enjoying the same things.

Helen Joeck will be over tomorrow for lunch and the afternoon.  I always like visiting with her.  If it is nice out, we’ll probably hike a bit.

Thanks, Sweetheart, for being such a wonderful hubby – so understanding and so lovable – you’re all I’ve ever wanted in a man – and I wanted a lot!

Love,
Bev
