Hello Darling,

I’m sorry I didn’t finish my letter yesterday. I just didn’t get back to it. We expected company in the evening and we made doughnuts for lunch and then I had to get dressed. 

Addie and I had fun at the Prom last night, but I wish you would have been Addie. We were both thinking of our dearest’s at the Prom. I had you with me though. I wore my beautiful flower and rings and your darling little pin. I keep you with me always.

Anyway, it’s Monday and I started riding with a new driver. I don’t get up until 6:00 bells and just run out to the car. That is just wonderful. Work was just another hard day. I worked hard and steady. The kids in Fabric are all mad at me over the deal of last week. I found out what kinds of friends I thought I had. I got home at 5:30 tonight because the Fabric had a talk after work. (You see I ride with kids from Fab.) I guess they are going to start working for a change. 

Anyway, when I got home I had two great letters. I sure enjoy reading them. In fact I read Thursday twice already. About your not being willing, I know you’re just as anxious as I. We both want our love united more than most anything. Our love will carry us through and soon or whatever it may be before our lives conclude. If you can’t get a leave I’ll try to get wherever you’re stationed. If that doesn’t work we will be married as soon as your get home. About the money you’re sending, I’ll try to hold on to it as we’ll have it if you get home or just in case fund. I manage to make the m bills out of our money so will save your money. I don’t know if I’ll start a bank account though. If you should get a leave and be broke, having all our money in a bank wouldn’t do me any good. What I am trying to say, I may not have it at my fingertips when I truly need it.

By the sound of things you enjoy your new job. I’m sure you can be a success at that job. Know that you’re getting wised up, maybe you have some advice about getting rid of a two week old cold. I’m really happy that you can take care of your health. I just can’t shake a cold anymore. I’ll sure be glad when summer comes.

About our bedroom. I had enough to get it home. I’m awfully glad you want me to enjoy it, but you know I wanted it for us. For us to use together for the first time. Anyway, JoDe was with and you were on the chest of drawers watching over me. I can feel you as near when I close my eyes. I love to close them and dream but I have to open them again. Well darling, I’m going to have to close as this is all the paper I have. God Bless you sweetheart and I’ll write more tomorrow evening.

Love,
DeLores

P.S. xxxxxxxxxxx Always keep our love the dearest thing we have. I do. I love you above all. Bye bye “me”

Hello My Darling,

I’m so happy I just don’t know what to say. I just received the flowers. They are just beautiful. It made me a bit blue not having you to kiss as we used to do. I wasn’t even dressed up so I could put them on. I just wish you were here in place of the flowers. Anyway that’s too much to hope for so thanks from the very bottom of my heart. The corsage is made up of 3 carnations, Lilly of the Valley and some little flowers I don’t know. It is all white and red and it is the most beautiful corsage I’ve ever received. It means so much to know you’re thinking of me way out there. Thanks again.

I don’t know if I’ll get to wear them but I hope to. Until the flowers I hadn’t heard from you since Thursday. I know they keep you very busy at the hospital and I do understand. I love you so much it hurts this day. I want you near me so badly. Wanting won’t do any good, but working hard and praying may bring results too. Let’s keep hope anyway.
