Wartime Newlyweds Exchange Love Letters, 1943-1945
Fort Dix, New Jersey, July 18, 1943
My Dearest Barbie,
Darling, please don’t ever get blue for really everything is going to turn out all right. In fact, everything is o.k. now, so please don’t worry, will you? You are home under the best care and near Fort McPherson in case anything happens and that relieves my mind quite a bit. Still in all, I know it means a lot to you and I both to be together all along, but it will not be but a short while before we shall be together again. By that time, we will have a baby and really something to build on. Barbie, did
you ever stop to think about how wonderful it is to bring someone into this wonderful life of reality and being? Besides, being
responsible for their being here, to have the job of being their teacher of all of the many things of life. Darling, can you see how that seals a marriage to a concrete stage of endurance? How could anything break up our world after the baby gets here to
really make us realize what this thing called marriage is. . .
Your loving husband,
Charlie
