September 17, 1943

Sweetheart,

I thought about us two all the way down here. Mighty serious thinking too, incidentally, and I'm wondering what you thought about what I was thinking.

If I haven't mentioned it, I do love you! I thought you'd guess that much. I meant what I did in giving you my wings. Some times things can be said without a word being spoken, that last night together was one of the those times. I hope you've accepted them in the same spirit I meant them to indicate.

I'm coming home soon again - that is, I've been told as much; and naturally, it is my hope that we'll be thicker than - molasses. I do want to see you so much, feel you in my arms, crush you, hold you so very tight! I can't get you out of my mind, not that I want to. I don't ever want to lose you, never.

We could get along famously. I like the way you laugh, the way you talk, the way you walk, I like everything about you.

We clicked right from the beginning, I sensed it as soon as I walked into the room on our first date. I found myself without a line to cram down your throat, we didn't have to impress each other - we belonged.

There are a lot of things I can't express in a letter. Things that must be felt, naturally. It's these things I hope we'll feel when I come home again.

This is what I was thinking about all the way down here - so you know how I feel about us - God grant me the power - the good fortune - to see you again soon.

Answer soon because I may leave sooner than I expect. I'll let you know when I'm coming. If I leave suddenly - I'll call you up as soon as I can. "You'll never know how much I miss you."

With all my love,

Jim
