Hi kiddo,
Have you noticed that I’ve adopted your name and am using it myself. I’m sorry I couldn’t write last night but I didn’t get here until quite late and my weekend work was still in front of me.
It’s now 11 P.M. darling, and I love you very, very, very much. I went to the movies tonight although I know I shouldn’t have. It was “Cass Timberlane“, pretty good, too.
Did you get up and go to church Sunday morning? You know, I almost wish I had taken you up and gone with you. I don’t know why but I was awfully lonesome for you Sunday morning when I woke up. Must have been the beautiful Easter weather. I went to church at 11 too. I was coming back and when I saw you, remember? I was going to call you up when I got home but I didn’t have time. Anyway I can see you all next week until Sat.
When I come back from vacation a buddy of mine and I are going to go to Boston the next weekend. We’ll hitchhike I guess, and then just wander around taking in the sights and such things as us country folk usually do when we visit the big city. We may even go to New York if we feel like cutting 4 classes Friday morning. It doesn’t make much difference, we’ll just go off for the weekend I guess. Maybe I’ll learn something about big cities, who knows?
I really intended to write you a long letter this time but as you can imagine it’s quite late and I need my sleep to dream about the most wonderful girl I know, you are pretty wonderful to me, you know. I’m beginning to wonder about things. But then I won’t burden you with my thoughts. I hope that you feel the way that I do right now, it would make things so nice and cozy. That’s if I was home to appreciate it. I wish I were with you darling, ’cause I could tell you so much more tonight about how much I love you. Oh well, time is a great thing they say.
Love
Jim
P.S. Please don’t try to figure that last paragraph out, it’s very complicated. X’s for you and junior
Love,
