Airplane Stationery — Somewhere in the Eastern Seaboard
Letter #1
Dear Sweetheart —
It is evening now. Thought I'd go to the show tonight at 2000, but it so happened there wasn't any, though there was an earlier show. Expect to be going regularly, for a little divertissement & helps.
Had chow to-night that would have delighted you. In fact I am sure you would enjoy this whole situation if it were under trying to do something which in all reality is beyond or rather entirely different from that which you are accustomed to, just for me because you love me.
For a while I shan't be able to display my love for you the way you deserve, but once this whole thing is over & we are reunited as civilians you will see that the love I bear for you is everything you desire, & more.
It shall be great fun doing things together, enjoying things together, laughing together, talking together, just looking at you & they all — all our activities shall be but expressions of our love & devotion.
I have your two enlarged pictures before me, & I can't help but feel proud & happy that that so lovely young lady is my wife. I love you so much.

My living conditions are much more favorable now which doesn't find me adversely disposed.
I wonder what you are doing now? Still can't get over the fact that you can knitting wristlets for me. I know you are resolute when you put yourself to anything. Don't let the knitting throw you, but if it should prove too much, well I guess you can get them from the Red X. It's just the idea that you are when the war is over — to-morrow I'll talk about that for a little while.
Goodnight now, my love, & bless you.
Your devoted husband,
Dolph
