Germany Dolph's Letter #56

Dear Sweetheart =

For a change it's a beautiful day. A day which would be perfect, — if we were together. (but then every day would be perfect just so long as I could have you in my arms). You are my passion.

There isn't much going on — as per usual — but no complaints.

I was just thinking though that I shan't be able to get my Mother anything for her birthday — 23rd of May. You'll take care of it, won't you dear? And it reminds me I don't have the birthdays + anniversaries of my other parents + family. Will you please send the dates to me + if circumstances are such that I can, I shall remember them all just like I am now trying to do. I keep the dates in the little address book you gave me as part of a writing case.

I hope you are well, my love.

Take good care of yourself.

Your devoted husband, Dolph
