Your sweet letter was recevid also the gift and I must say I was very glad indeed to recive both, I had a wonderful dream of you Tuesday night, and just to think I recived such a long sweet letter from you, you must have been feeling fine or was in a loving mood because that certainly contained some sweet words the letter alone was a good present.

good and true, Although our quarrels seems to bind us closer in love, I guess we quarrel at time because we love each other. Don't say that you are glad that we are in love again with each other just say that you are glad and thankful that we made up because we will always love at least I will. No matter how angry I am toward you my love never decrease for you, because we were born for each other and we both are blessed to have each other.

If it was in my power to see you on Sunday dear you know that I would be glad to be with you an then too I miss your long, long kisses especially the ones you like so very much I know it's hard for you to get along

without them because you like them so.

The postman brings me treasures,
Of many a kind and style;
He multiplies my pleasures
And amplifies my smile,
But nothing else suffices
To please this heart of mine,
And love has no devices
Like your Valentine.

I like all kinds of weather
That February claims,
It matter little whether
Snow falls or sunshine ?flower?,
But like a glowing ember
I wont your love to shine
I want you to remember

To send a Valentine.

From yours
Bill.

P.S I recived the present O.K.
