My Darling Alice,
I didn’t mean to let you wait so long for an answer, but
time is the swiftest thing going down here. At night when I am about to drop
off to sleep, my last thought is you, wishing your sweet little face lay next
to mine, as once upon a time. Just about
two years ago now since I met you for the first time, that wonderful night crowned
with your first kiss will always be a reminder of you. I had planned so many things with you but
things turned out different. Seems I’d
better make the grade first, but sometimes I wonder if it wouldn’t be a little
easier with you on my side.
Maybe it is foolish of me to talk this way, but don’t forget there always is a place for you in my heart. How is everything with you now? I guess you are a good church member while I am getting worse and haven’t been to church for almost three months. That however doesn’t’ mean that I am falling down morally, the company I keep, here at the Y.M.C.A. as well as my friend Fred, wouldn’t permit that. What little spare time I have, I am enjoying out in the wide open spaces, one time in the mountains, the next on the shore. That keeps me fit for my job. I am glad to be gaining weight, when I got here it were 134, today 141 ½. If that keeps up you won’t know me when I get back.
Well, darling I hope you’ll find time for a few lines to me
and don’t mind to let your heart speak, I am the only one that reads your
letters.
With all my love, I am as ever,
Your true friend,
George
Auf Wiedersehen, au revoir, …
