October 9th 1945 Letter From Leona




Oct 9, 1945
Lu My Dearest, 
Darling, I hope you never receive this letter while you're overseas. It just made me sick when I received your Sept. 23 letter today. But surely by this time you're at least on the boat home. I'm so sorry now that I didn't keep on writing before. 

I'm still apartment hunting darling but I'm definitely a pessimist now.  There just isn't anything. Oh, darling, I really don't care what we have to live in so long as we can be together and that's all that counts. Honestly darling I don't ever want to be out of reach again. 

Oh I wish you could see Lynne dance! She jumps up and down on one foot and waves and taps the other, sometimes she tries tapping both, and her arms are going at the same time. It's so funny. 

Amy and Henry are here on furlough. Henry expects a 45 day furlough when he gets back to Boise and They're coming back down to Salt Lake. If you're not home by that time, I believe something drastic will happen. 

I bought some pans today and I have been looking for some dishes. so far I haven't found anything. I dream of keeping house and really being a wife and mother, but it seems so hard to try to realize that it is possible. 

Guess I better go and put buttons and button holes in Lynne's dresses. Golly, honey, I sit down and write to you and spend 3 or 4 hours dreaming. Hurry Honey, let's dream together.Hurry, hurry, hurry home honey. I can't wait. I want you so much. I love you and need you. Darling, wire me as soon as you hit New York, please. 

All my love, 
Leona and Lynne

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...
