June 1, 1944, Thursday


Dear Ronnie,

We were married just two months ago today, honey, and out of 60 days have spent one week and three days in each other's company. That doesn't seem like very much, does it? When you put it down on paper the days don't seem long, but I still think about how much living we did in that time. Those are the days both of the should remember for a long, long time. I never knew what the meaning of happiness was until then, when for a few days I caught a glimpse of the happiness that could be ours. When we are allowed to share more of our life together. We have only just begun to appreciate all the responsibilities and privileges we have towards one another -- at least I have. You, being a woman, probably had an insight into what was ahead for us but are forced to learn things the hard way -- by experience. To my way of thinking, the responsibilities are a small price to pay for all the fun we shall have together.

I miss having you close to me and making love to you more as time goes by. There is no telling how long it will be before I get to see you again as things stand now. That's why it hurts -- I can't look forward to being back in a certain day. When I do get back we shall have to make up for lost time.

Love,
Clyde
