July 27th-29th 1944 'Lu Darling'


Leona and Lynn




Thursday, July 27th

Lu Darling,

Hello  Daddy, How do you like the idea now that it's really real! You should have the cable and your Mother's letter by Now.

July 28th
Jeepers sweets, at this rate I may cover a whole week to cover one page, rather disjointed isn't it. I tried sitting up yesterday and it made me kinda sick. So I'm just propped up a little bit now.

Oh honey, our baby is so sweet, she's such a darling, you could just eat her up. She's good too, just never, never cries. I get her about every 4 hours to feed her. -Sounds as though the babies are coming now.

Lynn has been fed and very soon it will be time for my lunch.

Guess I should start from the beginning darling and tell you all about it. Right now it's really hard to remember all I went through. At the time I thought I would perish, but everyone said I was so lucky, my bad pains didn't last too awfully long and the baby came fast. Of course coming fast the way she did the tendons didn't have a chance to stretch so they got ripped, but I only had to have 2 stitches.

Jeepers sweetheart, I wish you could be here too. I miss you so and I know how anxious you are to be with us. Your little girl is the most beautiful baby. I love her so. And darling she's so good, always asleep.

As you can guess, another day has gone by and it's the 29th. My 7th day and I'm just getting so that I can sit up without getting too dizzy and nauseated.

I started chilling last night and then I perspired, got all flushed and everything and pains in my side. They gave me pills and stuff. Now if I can just get rid of the pains I'll feel fine. Beginning to get just a little dizzy, but I'm determined to get this letter off to you sometime today, cause it's a whole week since I mailed one to you. You'd have had one dated last Saturday if Lynn hadn't gotten in such a hurry.

There was a little girl in the next bed and her soldier hubby came up to see her every day. They both looked so excited and in love, I almost want to cry. How I'd have leaped if my Hubby could have come up and grabbed me in his arms.

Don't get too blue sweetheart, please. Remember you've got to keep up our morale. I'll give Lynn plenty of love darling, everyone will cause she's so sweet.

Let's hurry and get the war over with so we can have our little family together.

Just had my bath honey and very very soon they'll bring our Lynn to me for her mid morning meal.

I love you darling more and more all the time.

Always your devoted, loving wife,
Leona

September 22nd Letter to Mom and family-Pass to town

Dearest mom & all, Got your letter of Sept. 3 a few days ago but have been so darn busy that I haven't had time to touch correspondence. I'd much rather write individual letters to all of you and if this break lasts long enough I will but for now just make believe I'm talking to each and every one of you cause I love you all. Things were rather hectic for me for quite awhile after we came over here and we still have some work of the drudgery sort to do for a while but we are now in a "Rest" area safe and sound from any enemy action and have prospects of some relaxation (can't count on it too long though.) Last night I got my first pass in France and we all went into a little town nearby (I'll tell you its name when I'm allowed). Of course the first thing the boys I was with headed for... ...was a wine shop, but that did them no good- "Bosche Take" was all they could get from the proprietress. That was the way with every th...
