July 30th 'Dearest Lu'






Sunday, July 30th

How does it feel to be really a Daddy, darling?  Isn't it wonderful! I'm so happy sweetheart, there is only one thing to make every thing perfect.  And you know what that is.

Little Lynn is such an adorable baby darling that you know I'm going to give her lots and lots of lovin. If it's true that you can spoil children with lots of love, then ours will be the most spoiled child you will ever hope to see.

I get to see the baby so seldom that I can hardly wait to get home where she will really and truly be mine and I can put sweet little white clothes on her. Gee honey, you surely knew your stuff when you sent that sweet little pink jacket. She's going to be blessed in it you know.

The hospital gives out a birth certificate with the baby's feet prints and Mother's thumb print. It isn't a legal document but it's awfully nice to have.

I feel much brighter today. The prospect of going home is getting me so excited. I was awfully woozy while I was trying to write that first letter. But I've been feeling so much better. I get stronger every day (Gee I hope I will fit my clothes)  The doctor says I can hang my feet over the side of the bed tomorrow and I can go home Tuesday.

I thought I would trace the right footprint for you. She weighed 6 lbs. 3 oz when she was born and was 19 inches long and nice and chubby, and she's still a little fatty.

Her eyes are really dark blue and her hair line is like yours honey.

I know it's hard to be a daddy by remote control, but I can feel that your with us every minute sweetheart. Besides your heart honey, I do have a real live bit of you here with me and I'm going to take the best possible care of her. That's a promise darling.

Gee honey, I've missed your letters for the past few days. I hope they start coming soon.

Very soon I will have the loan of my baby for a few minutes. Then I'll get ready for visiting hours. Honestly it's just one thing after another. I've been getting so worn out during the day that I really sleep at nights now.

I love you darling and I love Lynn specially for you too.

Always your loving wife,
Leona

Nov 26th 1945 To Leona from Wes Hill

Nov 26, 1945 Luzon Dear Leona: Well here I am still but not for long. No kidding a dream. A long worn out Dream is coming nearer to reality. I will be home some time in January. Unless orders change. But up to now we sail or get on a boat on the 10th of December. I'm about going Nuts for that is only 15 Days away. All the 70 bomber have gone to Manila last week & we are the first to go as a Unit. with 60 to 69 pointers exclusive. So you know what that means from now on there is no use in writing for the Post Office readdresses to my home address. so here I am. and not a darn thing to write about. Our old Outfit Broke up and so I'm in the 736th AAA Gun Bn. which is second on the list. for shipment. 43,000 men are going to shipped from the AAA this December on 147 Troop Transports. So I'll see you after I walk out of the Gates of Fort Douglas or should I call you up for Instruction on how to get around Salt Lake. Well that's too far ahead to think clear...
