4 August 1942 – Queens, New York
Dearest Marion,
Well here’s your letter. I miss you already. When your train pulled out yesterday I had a funny feeling it seemed as if you were going away for good. I’m very glad it is not for good because I’m going to miss you a whole lot.
I love you so much it’s going to be hard not seeing you. I had a nice dream last night. It was about you and me. You’ll never guess what we were doing (am I kidding?).
You’ve only been gone 19 hours and I feel lousey. I hope this week goes fast. I have to neck with someone and that someone is you.
Honey, don’t be disappointed because this letter isn’t long because I really don’t know what to say except I love you more than anything in the world and I want you more than anything in the world.
Well how’s the country? Did you arrive safe? I hope so. Well I think I’ll have to close because there is really nothing much to tell you. So long honey.
xxx Lots of Love,
Larry
P.S. Miss me? I hope so because I miss you a whole lot. Jr. misses you too. L.R.
P.P.S. Tell Terry I was asking for her and her family. Tell her it’s been pretty peaceful around here since she went away. (If she gets mad tell her I’m only kidding.)
Love again,
Larry
