I can not tell you how much I love these letters. I can imagine Grandpa writing them and who he was back then. These are amazing. This one is a very special letter. It left me in tears. I knew I was lucky to see this love in person. Now I know how lucky I was... ______________________________________________________ May 2, 1945 Tuesday Evening, My Darling Wife, I just received the sweetest letter from my wife a few minutes ago. She said she had been talking to her husband on the phone, can you imagine that? My razor came tonight too. Thanks a million darling. My wife sure is a wonderful girl to do things like that in fact I am almost glad I married her. I just finished another day as a “white collar” worker, you should have seen your old man sitting behind a desk, pounding away at a typewriter, rubbing out his errors with the eraser on the pencil he keeps behind his ears. In case you didn’t know it, your husband is a whiz kid in an office. I had to type up the company laundry roster, make an inventory of all the clothing, inspect the rifles that weren’t on issue, and go to a warehouse to pick up clothing to be issued as replacement for worn out clothing turned in for salvage some days work no? I don’t think $3.00 was very much for one call for it was worth about three hundred to me and that is putting it mild. Sweetheart, I am hopelessly in love with you that I will never, never get over it or have any desires too. A few months ago I would have thrown away my life for a plugged nickel, but now I have everything in the world to live for. I have the sweetest wife in all the world, and I want to spend a long and busy life just working and fighting for her, and doing everything I possibly can to just have the privilege of seeing her eyes light up in happiness. When you look at me with those blue eyes and say “I love you”. I think my heart will burst. When I think of the day we stood in the forest listening to the wind rustle through the trees and you were standing with you back to me, and you caught me off guard by saying suddenly. “ I love you Johnny”. Well darling, all I can say is that I saw the sun for the first time. I always did love the woods honey, but now I love them more than ever, and that particular spot will live in my memory always, for there you first told me you loved me. The war news looks heartening today. See I hope it is over soon, for my wife and I have lots of things to do when I get out of this damned army. I think I will kiss the man who first calls me “mister”. Well Sweetheart, I must close for now and get to bed. Will be thinking of you. I love you with all my heart and will till the day I die. Your loving husband, Johnny P. S. Je vais amie au a. Comment est moi francais?
