Dearest Darlin:-
Right now I wouldn’t trade me in on anyone! I’ve got you & I’m sailin’ at about ten thousand feet up – motors running easy & owning the whole world. Ya know why? – Got back from S. Carolina to the greatest stack of mail I ever saw – Baby, you’re one of those things that make it all worth while. – And such swell letters, too! Gosh, how I do wish I could save ’em & keep readin’ ’em over & over! – the “Digest” will be on the schedule for tonite’s reading, thanx to a certain Swede – Wish your nose were right in it next to mine, tho’ I don’t think we’d ever get any reading done. It’s great to know that when I get back to camp I’ve got you waiting for me, even if it’s a smack on paper!

Sounds like you had a large week-end at the Edgewater – Goodie for you, & I’m sure that your Sailor boy friend wishes you were his ‘stead of mine – Haw! He can’t have ya!! — ’tis a comforting tho’t to know that you’re having fun – Working with Sylvia Wilson & meeting the Ward’s at Woodmar makes me feel as tho’ I wre with ya every minute. You can bet that you were with me!!
Our deal in S. Carolina was the closest thing we’ve seen yet to the real thing – Some Stuff!!

Baby, I’m runnin a fevah!
