II am SO very happy. dear so thrilled
and glad that I could shout for joy.
1t is because every letter that receive
from you gives me additional assurance
that you are ideal, my sweet darling
lady, full of that wonderful womanly
tenderness, strength and love and cour-
age that / am so hungry for-yes. dear,
and l am not taking anything too far
for granted, either. Don't you see 1t,
dear? Can you feel it in your own
heart and soul? We are meant for
each other. Every thought, every senti-
ment that is expressed is natural. Life
will be so different, dear To have a
home in every sense of the word, to
have one or two pairs of little feet to
come toward us, oh, Virginia, dear,
what heavenly bliss it would be. To
really have some one to love, some one
tc live for, some one to take away that
lonely existence, some one to call all
our own. Gee, dear, if only it was a
little later in the season. How 1 would
hurry to you. Tell me, dear, does your
nursing other people ever get tiresome?

times to always have to wait on other
folks. And, dear, you would gladly ex-
change 1t for much better job, that
OF nursing loved ones and have always
just your own loved ones to care for,
would you not?
