Certainly wish you could have been along, if you had I think I could have fully enjoyed the evening. In fact if you wouldn&#8217;t have objected I&#8217;d probably ev en have made love to you. Honey, I would have done that without even a drink, however, as it was I had to be content with a couple of drinks and the thought of you. Gee Hon, it will certainly be wonderful to be with you again, I don&#8217;t know if you think about it as much as I do, but even if you don&#8217;t, I do enough for the both of us.<\/p>\n<p>I received and signed and returned the papers to Fred Martin. Had Maj. Gardner our executive officer certify to it so you might check to see that he receives it OK.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4651\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4651\" style=\"width: 150px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/cartmell\/wp-content\/uploads\/April-8-1945-Somewhere-in-France-Sunday-Night-Page-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-4651\" src=\"https:\/\/brooksidepress.org\/cartmell\/wp-content\/uploads\/April-8-1945-Somewhere-in-France-Sunday-Night-Page-2-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"April 8, 1945, Somewhere in France, Sunday Night, Page 2\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" title=\"\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4651\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">April 8, 1945, Somewhere in France, Sunday Night, Page 2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Hope Jr. is behaving OK and he should be getting use to sun baths by now.
