Sorry Honey, I
Forgot the date
City of Love,
State of Happiness,
19 Kisses, 50 Hugs
Dear Sweetheart
Written with a pencil, sealed with a kiss, if you love me tell me
this. I dream our eyes have met, but don’t worry for what dreams
say, I’ll get you yet. Of all the boys I’ve met, you’re the one, I
can’t forget. Your love is like a lump of gold, hard to get, and
hard to hold. This is my love letter dear; I would express it
better if you were near.
Love and kisses
Barbara
P.S. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. That is why I long for
you, lonely through the night I wonder if you darling, love me
too.

Dearest darling,
Ain’t this letter cute? I got it from Dixie, so don’t blame me.
I’m in study hall now. Darling, Joyce Wyndall & I decided today for
us to go to W____ Springs one week from this Sunday; that is if
nothing happens. That’s O.K. isn’t it? I’m having the worst time
writing this! Joyce is sitting across from me, and we keep talking,
when Armstrong isn’t looking. Well it’s the next period and I still
haven’t finished this. Darling, there isn’t much today so I’ll
close for now. I love you with all my heart.
Love always & always
Barbara
P.S.
I’ll see you Thurs. nite, and I’ll expect a letter from your
tomorrow afternoon or Wed. morning. Love you lots & lots. Barbara.
P.S.S.
Gosh, did my legs ache today. There’re not so bad now, but his
morning I could hardly walk! Never again!!
