To my darling Terry, 

Hello gorgeous, just another note, more or less, to the swellest girl in this world!

Terry, sweet, and all that sort of ting, I just read your letter of May 18. You've got it as bad as I have. Terry, writing letters to you, telling you, rather trying t tell you, how much you mean to me seems rather hopeless lately. Because the way I feel, the way I've always felt, just can't be put into words. That is, unless I were a poet, and I'm not very good at that. Can't you see what I'm trying to say, Terry? I love you so, I think so much of you. I long for to hold you again so very much, so very, very much!!!

Those pleasant dreams I have of us, and those where we're fighting - they're like nightmares after we fight; and I wake up glad that it's not true. I can't seem to picture us fighting, can you? Maybe it's because I want you so - I wouldn't want anything to happen to you, Terry. Oh, darling, what else can I say to express myself?

I hope you're right about our reunion. Some how, I've got a feeling that I will finish, and I will be back to you, oh what a happy day. Terry, if you feel anything like I do, we simply can't miss it! We're set for each other and I defy anyone to be any happier than we'll be!

I guess we're going to have to postpone our July 4th deal that I mentioned, it's going to take a little longer than I guessed it would be. 

We better set it back about a month or so, let's say Aug. 15h, how's that?

"6" is the magic number to date. I guess you should know what I mean by that. Bigger and bigger, but always closer and closer to you, Terry. 

Oh, Terry, I never thought that I'd miss anyone as much ass I miss you! I didn't think there was anyone in this world that could make me sad because I wasn't with them, anyone to make me long for them so much as you do. 

Darling, hold tight a while longer, and everything will turn out all right, and it scared me when I think of our meeting. I won't be able to cope with it, no fooling, I've got it bad, haven't I?

Whats the use, hell, I can't say what I feel, I'm just writing words, and God knows it doesn't do or say what I feel. 

I'll be writing again soon, so until then I'll say farewell. And remember, I love you deeply without reserve, and that's for always. 

Deepest of love, your future husband, 

Jim
