My Very Own Darling,

I’ve more or less got myself back in the “groove” and the leisures and pleasures of last week are quickly becoming just memories.

I seem to have struck lucky with my choice of weather, however, for it has rained each day since I got back.

Although the weather has been miserable, though, I haven’t, for on the last two mornings I have had the thrill of receiving a letter from you.  The success of a day is assured if I have a few sweet words from the sweetest girl in the world.

Yes, I suppose that you won’t be sorry to have Sister back to relieve you of some of your many responsibilities.  They do have their uses, don’t they?

Darling, you don’t know what a thrill it gives me to read the confession that you are not as fond of nursing as you once was.  There was a time back in 1942 when I thought I should never persuade you to say that.  But, as you have pointed out on many occasions the past months have proved that life would be dull if we had not the love of each other to look forward to.  To both of us it has become the most important thing in life and our greatest aim.

So you have had admirers bringing you flowers have you.  Its no good you telling me not to be jealous, Darling, because I am, not of the fact that a man has brought you flowers, but that he is in a position to do it and I am not!!  I do so want to be able to go out and buy things that you like & bring them back to you and see the pleasure on your face.  I shall like doing that, Darling, when I get home for I know you will always give me a reward and I know what that reward will be!!!

The thought of you twining our arms around my neck, Dear and drawing me close to kiss me never fails to thrill me.  When you can actually do it again I shall be in seventh heaven.

I wish from the very bottom of my heart, Angel, that I could take the advice you tender in your last letter and come home to you on a flying visit.  However short the time, Darling, it would be worth it just for the first exquisite feeling of happiness as we stand into each others arms.  One never knows, the chance may arise one of these days, - there’s no harm in hoping anyhow. 

Glad to read that Vera is well enough these days to get out and around.  Mother also mentioned in her last letter that she had been flag-selling.

You haven’t mentioned your Mother and Father just lately, Dear.  I hope they are keeping well.  Remember me to them next time you write, will you please?

The end of the paper once again, Dear, but enough room to tell you just how really nice you are and that I love you just as much as it is possible for any one to do.  You have made these last two years very happy ones, Darling, despite the circumstances.  

You always have my love.  Yours Stan  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
