Conger Reynolds correspondence, January-March 1919

1919-02-03 Conger Reynolds to Daphne Reynolds Page 2

Gee, but it really would be great if you were here and we had this apartment and the cook all to ourselves. Why can't it be? Must be there ain't no god.
My assistant came back to work today, to my great satisfaction. Once more I shall begin training him with the design of making him competent to handle everything if I should parlir - or, to put it more directly, to have someone to propose for my place when I claim the right to go. As you know, I have been told that I must stay two months. One of my months is nearly gone. Very soon I shall begin a campaign to get my release for the first part of March. 
Do I write in every letter all the little details about my plans and hopes and despairs about getting home? I suppose I do. You'd probably like me just as well if I stayed off the subject except when I have something to say that counts. Nothing much will count though, until I can say, "Dear wife, will be home on the Mazuma ___ 'steen. Meet me at the dock." Oh boy! 'Twill be a grand and glorious feeling when I say that. 
I haven't heard a word from Goody for ages. I'll have to write to her again and remind her that I'm here. Do give her my love.
Heaps and heaps of love I send you my honey-girl.
Conger.
