Dear June,

I’m starting this letter on Sunday evening but I feel awfully sleepy for some reason.  I may add to it tomorrow at noon before I mail it.  It was wonderful to talk to you today, darling.  It’s the next best thing to having you here.  I do love you, too.

I went to the movies tonight but came home early.  I saw When Willie Comes Marching Home.  It was very good.  You should see it in the city sometime.

I hope you weren’t too lonely with Shirl not there today.  I wish I could have been keeping you company.  M-m-m.  I sure do.  Only five days and four nights till you’re in my arms, my darling.  I hope they fly by on wings.

Well darling, it’s now Monday noon.  I just read your letter from Saturday.  Very nice but I won’t say anything more about it now.  I have to have something to write about tonight, you know!

Won’t Friday ever come?!!  Be good, my sweetheart.

Lots of love,

Art

(Later today – June in an industrious mood.)
