Hello darling,
Today when I got my mail a surprise was in store. I've never seen so much mail for any one person. The latest letter from you was dated Feb, 28, took just 10 days. Now that you have my complete and permanent address, your mail will come directly here - no more delay.
I don't think the picture flatter you, you're much more beautiful than the picture would imply. I'm speaking of the announcement in the Sentinel. They could have done a better job, but be it as it may, it's still a good picture.
Darling, I like your taste of humor. Please don't stop sending those clippings. I enjoy them a lot, some are darn good.
About the Waves or Spars - Darling, please don't go joining up with regulations. If I were to come back, I'd want you to be there. Obviously, you couldn't be there if you were in uniform. You asked what I thought about it, now you know, here's hoping you don't. Remember what I said tho, it's up to you -
I saw "For Whom the Bells Toll" in NYC. I thought it was one of the best, didn't you? Also saw Madam Curie at the Radio City Music Hall and that was pretty good too.
Naturally, I'm happy to hear about the silver ware and all the other things you've been receiving and making for our future home. If you're as happy as I am about the whole thing, we have not a thing in the world to worry about, no doubt about that now.
That book you got from Schusters. Did it say anything about how to spend our evenings? Or has Helen supplied that side of it?
You know Terry sweet, I've been talking to a lot of married men about married life in detail, and they're giving me a lot of helpful pointers. They might come in handy some time.
I understand that the people in the States are "hoping" the war will be over in a year, but aren't "saying" it. There's a lot to be done yet, oh so very much, and as for my predictions - no comment. Just lets keep on hoping for a short end to Germany, never being quite sure when the finale will present itself. Let's just "hope and pray," and "work and fight" - and the eventual outcome will be ultimate.
I've enclosed a copy of the Forces paper. All about the first big raid on Big B. All I can say is that we gave'em hell, and will continue to do so in the future. Also take note of the poem, "A Letter Home." I think it is pretty good.
Say that reminds me, the poem you wrote in one of your letters. You've got it bad, haven't you honey? But I've got it worse because I love you so very much. I thought it was the nicest thing I ever read, it was wonderful.
What about "The Future Mrs. Jim Brown" on one of your letters. That was nice, so very nice to see. Makes things look so much closer, doesn't it? Terry, you're tops!
That's all for this time; will be more later. All of my deepest love and a flock of kisses to my sweetheart and the sweetest girl in the world.
Your loving future husband,
Jim
