Dearest Little girl.

yesterday and to day dear my thought were of you and how I long to be with you as we once have been. And you can imagine how I felt last night going to bed and not having had the opportunity to hold you in my arms. It has been a long time since I missed seeing you on Sunday. I really enjoyed myself being with you thurs . it was a great pleasure to be with you. It seem as though the time is approaching when we must part for a long time.

The memorys will sil still linger in my mind of the good times we had to-gether; when you are so far away. Sweet heart I know you enjoy long letters but it seem as though I can tell you better than I can write especially when I am holding you in my arms and receving those long, long, kisses which you y seem to enjoy so

(page 2)

very much Sunday and Monday are two nice days and we can not even see each other I hope that you enjoyed you self over the nice week end. I wanted to go down Camden, but my Cousin came from Trenton to visit us instead.

I am not shure whether I'll be up there to night Tues or not as you know the results if I can come up I'll Call you up about 3 p.m. If I can't get money enough to take you to the show I won't come up.

Lovingly,
Bill
