our good memories. If you think the furlough was perfect, then it really was. For as far as my feelings about it go, everything was great. You are just a wonderful husband, laddie, and everything with and of you I can share makes being alive worthwhile. We'll always have the secrets honey whether we can be together or not. And when we are together will never forget to actually say or whisper them to our companion every day. That just makes good things that much finer and other things not so black, don't you think? Joy shared is doubled and troubles are halved when we feel the way we do. 
Monday morn. I went to bed on good thoughts. And I was in your place you fixed. I heard nothing until the alarm at 10 to 7. And I've already got a swell fire, finished all the salt water, and still have time for as big a breakfast as I've eaten since Doc put me on the liquid diet before you came home. Just a week ago now we were just west of town starting out to D.M. It seems much much longer ago than that. 
People seem to think you are practically out of the army right now. If you ever should get out, wouldn't it be irony then if I'd joined the wacks or done anything else that would oblige me to stay put some place away from here? But I'm not counting at all that you'll be transferred to industry.
