Dearest Gee. Well, honey, I got two letters from you yesterday and one today. Sho like that. Yesterday’s letters were dated July 22 and 24 (anniversary day) and today’s was 26. Not bad time is it?

Wednesday, July 25, 1945

Dearest Gee. Got two swell packages today and two swell letters from you yesterday. Sure do thank you. One of the packages had a return address of Mrs. F.B. Bruns so I don’t know which to thank.

Saturday, July 7, 1945

Dearest Gee. Got your nice June 21 jobby today, also one from Erv and one from Erwin Hanson. Erv’s was probably the last I’ll get since that was the one he broke the news to me in.

Dearest Gee. Well, honey, no mail for two days now. Sure hope I connect tomorrow. We got paid tonight so I’m in the dough again. How are you fixed? Have you got the fifty yet?

Dearest Gee. Been hitting a few more letters the last couple days. Got your v-mail of Feb. 23 telling me about Eli so you can see that air mail letters gets here lots quicker as I’ve had your airmail letter since last Thursday or Friday.
