Hello my darling wife,
I hope this little note finds you feeling fine and on the upper side of things. If you aren't, maybe this will raise your morale just a wee bit.
Now remember darling, what I say here after, in this letter, please don't pin all your hopes on everything. There's always a doubt as to where I'll go and when I'll be going. You see, I'm only going on a supposition.
One thing is certain and is without doubt perfectly safe to tell you and for you to believe in it's every word and that darling is that I'm relieved from combat. I've completed my tour and will be in for a rest whether it be here - or home to you.
The past part of it is the doubtful part, meaning that I think it will come about, but I want you to be only half sure because I don't want to disappoint you in any way. Can't you see what I mean, darling?
If I do come home, we should count on the last of July as the time. Can you wait that long darling without suffering too much? I ask that because it seems an eternity to me. In a few day's you'll receive a letter from me telling you that I'll be unable to write for a long time. You'll know then that I'm on my way. Let's hope it's the place we've in mind, you and I.
I was just reading your letter expressing your impression of our meeting, and I want to say something to ease your mind if I can. To sort of annihilate those "rumors" you've been hearing.
I think I understand how you feel about it, especially having heard these weird stories from someone, who without a doubt has not had a very happy marriage. It's just a guess, but what you heard probably dealt with the man who was definitely a beast in playing his part of life, having no consideration whatsoever for this wife's feelings or desires. It would naturally tend to put doubts in your mind pertaining to your own marriage, and I don't blame you for being on the uncertain side.
We both have our little fears and we feel uncertain about how we'll click after we're married, but that's something that takes faith in each other. That's part of marriage, my darling, and right now there isn't much we can decide one way or the other. Except, as I said before, that we love each other very much, rather we've felt that way about it for a long time. With that love comes mutual trust and faith, and if those are attained, the rest will work out itself.
Please, darling, take those rumors you've heard from "unhappy" women and try to forget them, and trust, hope, and believe that the other side of the story can be very beautiful. Ask a woman that you are absolutely sure to be happily married. You probably have heard the other side, but you're still wondering about your own marriage.
All I can say now is to wait until the time comes, then to trust each other and to help each other as two people were meant to do. To live as one, to enjoy the love we have, equally and together.
Life itself is so uncertain, and we can only try to live as life was meant, and hope that every thing will work out as we want it to.
We'll be all right, Terry, it's only a matter of time until our love is fully realized by both of us..And don't you worry about "it"; the most natural thing in the world if not abused. Remember that. There isn't much else I can say in a letter, is there?
We'll have a long talk when I get back, and please don't worry abut it, easier said than done, I know, but please believe in our love, all of it - everything will be all right!
For now, Terry, the pen has tried it's best to console and to set your mind at ease; what follows we'll have to wait - not too long, I hope!
You have all of my deepest love forever and a day.
Your future husband,
Jim
