“My Darling,

My room’s cold again, and I’m ready to hit the sack, so I’ll just make this one of the shortest letters on record. I don’t feel right unless I write to you tonight. Can’t go to bed without saying good night to you. Gee, this evening was swell. I love every lovely minute of loving I spend with you. Good night, Dot. Wish you were here. I love you always.”

“I’m far too much in love to go to bed without letting you in on at least a little bit of it. It’s all yours but I doubt if you could hold it all at once. Remember, Dart, it’s always there, and will continue to be there as long as you need and want it.”

“Gee, I’m glad you came down tonight. It was so much fun walking, laughing, talking, and just being with you for the sheer joy of it. My whole life is spent living for the time, no matter how short, that we can be together, and I am ever-anticipating our life together in the not-too-distant future. As I see it, it will be nothing short of perfection.”

She was pleased to read in one of  his letters today that he wants to work with her on dishes and anything other task he has. She’s working on her typing so she can work for him. She pretends she is a secretary in love with her boss, and she imagines how much fun it will be that the boss is also in love with his secretary! She even looks forward to helping him work on his railroad.

She wrote to El today to thank her for agreeing to spend her vacation as their chaperone at Sunapee in September. She’s so lucky to have a sister like El, and she only hopes that someday soon, the world will reward El for her kindness to so many people.

“Thank you for coming down tonight, and for loving me, and for wanting me to be your wife – the highest honor in the world.”
