30 May, 1944 Tuesday

My dearest future wife, 

Hello Terry, how's my darling two weeks from today, or is it less?

Well, whenever you receive this, I hope you're as happy as I am and as much in love with some one as I am with you. 

I'm afraid I still miss you more than ever, and I guess I'll just have to keep right on missing you until I get back. Yes, missing you and longing for that day when we'll be together again - ah me. 

Terry, maybe we won't be as excited as a lot of people are, they who could possibly be! That's cruel, to keep a man and a woman, so much in love, away from each other. 

If you feel like I do about the tremendous distance between us, then you have my deepest sympathy. I know, you feel sorry for me, and I'll feel sorry for you. You hip me and I'll hop you - hip hip. 

I've got good news, honey, we finished up old man Schmid the other day. Yes, he's finished his tour, and he doesn't have to sweat out any more "ops," not for quite awhile at least. Can't you see how happy he must be, and how happy his wife must be, or will be when she seems him again? I sure hope he gets to go home, almost as much as I hope that I do

The "old bear" and "Matt" have a big one left, and what a big one it is. Little Jimmy has four to go. Just a rookie, merely starting, and don't think I'm kidding either. 

It won't be long, and if it does take a while longer, who cares? Now but sure, I always say. I hope it's sure, don't you?

If we never did another thing, at least we finished up one member of the crew. 

Well, darling, that's about all for this time, except to say that you're the one for me. The one and only, and what a lucky guy I am to have you as my best girl, who to me is the best there is, barring none. 

That's all baby, here's my love, all your, forever and a day. 

Your future husband, 

Jim
