Notes:

  • The Korean War began on June 25, 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea.  Morris being 24 was concerned that he may get called up to serve since he served in the Navy during WWII. 

  • Morris' younger brother Arnold had joined the Navy before the Korean War started.

  • F.F.A is the Future Farmers of America organization for young boys.  In 1966 in eighth grade I took a Shop as a semester elective and joined the F.F.A.

Dearest Barbara,

Wish you were here with me or that I was with you.  Honey it seems as like a wee already since I saw you.  Time just drags by when I’m not with you.     

Honey have you heard anything about Korea!  What if we were to have another war.  Would you marry me now.  I don’t think it will amount to much but you can’t ever tell.  If there is another war I think I’ll hid some where.  I guess Arnold is getting ready to go over there now.  He’s in San Francisco now.     

Darling you had to better be home Sat.  and not go to the beach.  That would be to long not to see you.    

We haven’t did much at work this week because the boss is gone.  Say I saw Allen and some other boy today as I was (can’t think of his name) going over to the Soda Fountain.  They were up there on something to do with the F.F.A.     

Darling I’m getting sleepy.  I’ve been working on my radio and its 20 to 11 now.  Last night I went to be at 7:15 and got up at 7 this morning.  I was sleepy all day yesterday and dead tired when I got home

Love you lots & lots forever & ever
Morris

 P.S.
  I love you.
