Hey:
How’s it feel to be the most beautiful woman in the world? I’ve been sitting here for the better part of the day, looking at your picture and committing mental you know what.
Boss told me my job today and then immediately countermanded his instructions. What a screwball. Somebody must be awful mad at my not doing anything for six months, but I’m just not a B.T.O. and will continue to look at you and study. At the rate things are going, maybe I’ll get home in less than another year. It is a very screwy business.
Honey, you’re the sweetest looking girl I’ve ever seen. How I ever hooked you, I don’t know.
I found a little aquamarine ring some months ago which looked like something Mary Huntoon could use in school so I bought it for her.
All my love, Cy.
