April 10,1952
Hi Hillbilly,
Have you thrown your shoes away for the summer yet? I put mine in storage the last day of March but had to unpack them the first day of April because it snowed.
What do you know, I finagled a three day pass two weeks ago and did I have a great time. Sgt. Rivera and I traveled to Bremerhaven in his auto...a distance of approximately 70 miles. We passed through a number of large cities; Frankfort, Kassel, Hanover, Bremen, Bremerhaven and Wurzburg not to mention the smaller ones. We ran out of gas in the British zone and pulled a midnight requisition on an English Petroleum Detachment. This was done with the aid of a Canadian officer. In writing it doesn't sound humorous, but you should have been there. I've never felt so devilish in my life! We drove down and rode the trains back. We must have slept in every railroad station in the American & British Zones of Germany.
So you like the '52 Ford Victoria. Have you seen the new Buick Special? I haven't but rumors have it that they are beautiful. To be truthful all the new model autos are out of this world. I'll probably have to compromise and get a fast horse and buggy. I'd be perfectly content with walking if you'd walk with me. How does that old song go? "My old jalopy's a Cadillac when I go riding with you." Considering all the angles though, I'd better buy an auto, just think of the shoes I'd wear out walking from home to 520 W. Liberty and back.
I think I'd better alter this letter a bit and get to the point. Know something, Kitten, I'm in a predicament. I'm not sure I know exactly how to tell you or even how to begin. The whole affair started last year in the month of May. I fell madly in love, no that isn't the way it was, I glided into love with the sweetest person I've ever known Since then my existence has been rather bare as I only had the pleasure of being with her for eleven days. I say "glided into love" because that's exactly how it was; So smooth, nice and comfortable. Speaking seriously, Charlene, I get bored with myself because I can't tell you exactly how I feel toward you. The English language doesn't include a word or words to express my emotions. I could say I love you, you're wonderful, you're beautiful, etc., and then what have I accomplished? Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. The very words I try to use effectively only blight the sincerity of my affections.. I hope you are following me. To make a long story short, when I say "I love you" you can be sure it goes much deeper than that.
It's now 2:10 am so I'd better close for now.
And by the way - no one has written me about you going out and that's not what has prevented me from writing. I'm neither so egotistical or conceited as to think you are not dating other fellows. I want you to enjoy yourself...and another thing, I don't have people spy on my girl. I wouldn't love you if I didn't trust and respect you.
goodnight Kitten,
I love you deeply, passionately and forever.
Bob
P.S.
It's not as long as it has been ...see you in '53 if they don't extend me.
