My Darling –

Received two letters from you today, one that you wrote on Feb. 25th & the other on Mar. 2nd. I also got one from Dad that he wrote on Mar.6th so you can tell that something is snafu^[1]SNAFU = Situation Normal, All Fouled Up along the line somewhere. Dad said that he had received a letter from Doctor Mark and that he had been very much impressed with you and also that you were getting along fine. All of which I was glad to hear.

You asked if I remember when we saw the show “Kismet” in Fresno. Is that a crack? It seems like that is the night Andy and I went out early to the stag party and met you folks later, that is, after I was finally able to drag Andy away from all the beer.

I sure hope you haven’t been sick any other days. You said you had been sick the day before you wrote your letter of the 25th. It must be the water, you know it take awhile to get use to it. Must have been something like you had at Fresno, when we first moved. OK, I’ll admit that I made a mistake but you weren’t right either. anyway, honey I sure hope you haven’t had any other bad days and take awfully good care of yourself.

Believe it or not I kept warm last night, however, I did have to wear all my heavy flying equipment. I didn’t sleep too well because I wasn’t able to hardly move. I do have a little cold but hope to have it under control before so very long, just about everyone has one.

Darling, I don’t think you would have to tempt me very long to get me to curl up in bed with you. The reading would be OK for awhile and the rain on the roof would make it seem mighty cozy. After thinking it over, I’ll accept , so put it down in the book under future plans.

So Ruthie is laughing at your figure. You might mention something about having the last laugh on those who laugh first, or something to that effect. Personally I don’t care if you are straight up and down from the back view.

The letter really smelled OK, that perfume must really be good stuff to last so long. It couldn’t by any chance be that which your no-account husband gave you?

I can’t figure out what was in that letter I wrote that could have been censored but guess they didn’t like the sound of it. Hope the rest of them have been coming through OK and have not been chopped up too much. I am glad Grandma wrote you and I doubt if she would complain much about having a little girl. As for your pleasing me – you did that along time ago honey when you married me. As far as my wanting a boy or girl, either will do. However, if you promise the girl would be just like you then lets forget about a boy.

About that raincoat, I wouldn’t have sent it home had I wanted it. It is too small for me and also too cold. And don’t you take anything for it. Hope she can use it, and if there is anything else you can use in that stuff go ahead.

One more thing; lets try and keep as many of your dreams about me as possible on the clean side. However, if you think up anything new remember it and we can give it a try sometime. this has gone far enough.

Tell everyone hello and take good care of yourself. And remember Darling that I love you very much –

Forever,

Tom
