Dearest Little Wife,

your letter was receied and I was glad to here from you. I am glad that you arrived home O.K. and more glad to hear that your Mother worked on that terriable cold of yours. I miss you so every much dear. I too will be glad to see you again. I know that we will live happy dear because I love you more than any one else in the world you mean every thing to me and I know that you are going to be the best wife in the world and we both will all way be happy

I am not shure when the excursion is coming down, but I am going to find out so that I will not miss it; because I wonts to be near you, and love you alway. I hope you mother didn't feel hard toward me because I didnt answer her letter and let her know when I had planned to do it. Rather we should of told her. Now my mother believes it.

Sweet heart how much I love you no one knows I can only think of the nights when I held you in my arms you were so sweet, especially when you wonted to be. It rained all day Sat. until about eleven oclock Sunday then it turned cool.

I dont know what to do with my self since I can't see you on Sunday I had got accustomed to being with you; to day I am staying home. Don't for get what I told you about the exercise because I love you, love you, with all my heart; you and only you. Be sweet for me and true. I'll let you know about the ring as I had planned to have a stick pin made of it.

Yours always,
William
