March 16, 1943 | Dear Joe

Dearest husband Joe,

How is my own husband this day? In good health and spirits I hope. I am doing OK for myself again. My cold is better and other than being tired I am fine.

I’ve eaten supper, take a nap and washed dishes. Mom and dad are both sleeping so you see how we feel around here. No ambition. Life is just routine without you. I want you much, but being apart really gives me something to work for. The better we work the more the boys gets to do with and the sooner everything will be happy again. That’s why you can work hard to make good. I am so proud of my husband. I wish I could be with him but it won’t be long before we will be together.

I didn’t get that letter you promised me today but I don’t mind. I know you haven’t done a washing for some time and that you were working a long day Wednesday, so even if one of those wasn’t the reason I still understand. I love you and I’ll make you and us happy. Our life will be happy together we can accomplish anything we want, can’t we?

Someday I’ll be everything just the way you want to me. I know this one thing, many things that I’m doing to have to change and you also perhaps but it will all come out in the wash. Anyway I’ve got to wash my hair this evening so please forgive me for cutting this short. God bless you happy. See you soon.

Your loving wife

Love,

DeLores
