Dear-heart
Just feel so
good this morning that I hardly know what to do with myself, can't stay still
one minute. Am just waiting for night to come, because I feel that I am going
to be with you.
New since I know you are going to
write me, I wonder if it is going to be a real long sweet letter or is it going
to be part lecture? Don't lecture to me dear, I am going to be better, we both
have agreed not to give it anther though.
Just bet you
go to see Josephine at diner time. Bet you both have something on hand. Well
you are a foolish little girl if you love me, and then let Josephine make
another match for you. I hope that is not her intentions, you would tell me if that
were the case? Well I'll just wait patiently and see. So if you love me a whole
lots remember and don't fall in love with no one else. Hear.
I am going
to find out about to-night and phone you. If I can't go to-night we will some
ether time. I want you to meet this girl, you will find her nice, and as for me
falling in love with her that is all out of the question, and you will win your
$10.00, from Laura. You know who I love and how much I love to, Dear lets don’t
give that another thought, and when she sees how much I am in love with you, she
would not have us separate for anything. Know that is my honest confession.
Now you
think of some of the things you tell me. Here are some of them. Gee I'll be
glad when next month comes. All the soldiers are in camp at Fayetteville and
Frances Is there, Frederic is there, Roy is there, Joe is there and some sixteen
others that I cant call their names. Believe I'll stay about two month or I may
never come back, you say I don’t care, that I am going to forget you any way
when you leave. I don't say much, but believe me I think a whole lots. I know
just as well as you, that you don’t mean those things well you may when it
comes to seeing the boys, but the others, so for that reason, don, don’t do it again,
it just all-upsets me. You want to know why I don’t 1ove to have you tell me
these things. Well because I love you I want you. I am jealous to a certain
extent over you. I don’t want you to love any body else or even have me believe
you do. I want every speck of your love for myself. To have and hold forever.
Do what ever you want to, to have a good time, go with any body--any where, as
for that is concerned, but don’t fall in love with any body else, or don’t let
any body come between us. Promise me that to-night.
The little
ducks have begun to hatch now, the cutest little thing you ever want to see,
just as soon as they take one out of the Incubator I am going to bring him or her
to you. Try your hand and see if you can’t raise him. Think of that good duck
diner when he gets grown. Do you suppose we will have duck fits after eating him?
You may give him a name, what do you to name him?
Will be so glad
when diner time comes, I want your letter. I wonder what you had to tell me and
to-night, Will you tell me what I want you to. That you are not going back home
to stay. That you do love me and nobody else and that it is always going to be
so and then you will prove it how? My darling sweet-heart you know who I love.
You know how devoted I am to you, so don’t tell me things to discourage me like
going back home to see some of your old sweethearts.
Be my sweetheart
and love me just as much as I love you. Let it be that way, now, to-morrow and
so on forever. With a heart full of love, to the one I hold so dearly and
respect, honor and love, I am with or with out your content, your devoted sweetheart.
