[Dad’s] chest hurts him terribly so tonight I’m going to see that it’s greased with lard & turpentine — your remedy.

I’m a fine one I tell you in a letter that I was returning the snapshot picture then I forget all about it. If I happen to think about or rather if my memory will stretch so far till I finish this letter then I’ll enclose them. Don’t, please, my little sweetheart be angry at me for what I did to one of them, will you?

Let’s see now just what were those other two pictures about? I remember now, one must have been fit for a “garter” ad of someone who is the “star”?

I just “made” that train by one minute. So you see it pays to have a watch upon which you can bet your last dollar… I better not pride myself too much with it or something might go chicken wire with it.

You see, my darling I must look nice & neat when I’m with you. Because you look so neat & faultless always and my darling I feel so proud about your appearance always. You are a queen.

Oh my, oh my! how much do I care for you! More than myself – every inch of me is plugging for you all day long…
Since I met you my dearest, life is so sweet & interesting. Honest before I met you I often began to wonder what life was “all about anyway.” There wasn’t much to hold my interest in it. But now! I’m so glad to be alive and live just for you.

Do you know a secret? Course you don’t but I do & I’ll share it with you. I have your picture on my dresser this morning the sun shone into my room and it shone right on your smiling beautiful face and from the two – the sun & your smile – your smile was the warmest & brightest.

You & I are looking at each other all the time, my dear. The only thing I’m afraid of is that I might take all the looks off of it. Then what? But I hope for one great big pleasantry – that I won’t have to be content with only the pleasure of seeing your beautiful face in picture form but that I can see & talk to you always…

This picture is just only an image of my face and that only. It does not reflect the image of my innerself – my heart. My dearest, I’m for you with heart and soul and every stroke of my heart is just another great big boost for you.
Therefor, may this “subterfuge” of my real self bring you constant memories of our associations when we are not on hand to see and talk to each other. May my eyes on the picture come to life to look into your smiling eyes and always behold the warm sunshine in your smile. And may my lips remind me of the honey dew on your sweet lips.
Please, my dearest, may God decree that you and I some day be pals & sweethearts for life.

From the moment I saw you that feeling came over me. And I just know that it will continue. I must confess one thing to you, my dear heart, and maybe you won’t believe me when I tell you. The fact is this. I think you might feel the same way about it.

…I can see you looking right at me with your sunshine smile & smiling eyes… don’t think I’m trying to sap soap you… your sweet smile & pretty face is deeply imprinted in my mind & memory – never to forget.
With a Carload of Love...
