I Love You Darling!

My Darling Peg:
Have myself almost crying with lonesomeness – have looked at – and relooked 50 times all my pictures of you. Cieslewicy's cousin is here and we were reading Press Gazettes– looking at Pictures and talking of old times – gee it’s hell to have to be over here so far from everything we Love & enjoy. Such is life! I sure do Love You Darling and miss you an awful lot, in fact so much that I’m lost if I at least don’t hear from you! So today I found myself – received one letter today. Had Parki announcement

in it. ‘Twas about time we received it! Honey please tell me more about the trip up home – they don’t write very often. Received two letters from them while I was in England, but that’s all. I try & scribble a note to them once or twice a week. I Love You!
Right now the conversation has turned to discharge. That darn old Arm of Occupation is really the question – wonder how long it would last. If we hit it? Wonder how long it will take to knock the Japs on their fanny? Since coming to France

the news has been extremely thin. The Stars & Strips is are only source of news (excuse please we now have a Radio)!
Honey you asked about the Buzz Bombs while we were in England – they didn’t bother us to much – hope you didn’t worry about them – cause I never!
Well Darling – goodnight & take good care of yourself. God Bless you!

 

I Love You Darling!
Love & Kisses

Love Me?

  2. I think that's Cieslewicy's couzin who brought the Press Gazzette (Paper from Green Bay). (Should have been cousin and Gazette, but no spell checker in '44)
