Guy Lee Tinder, Jr. correspondence
March 23, 1952
Sun [Sunday] Eve [evening] 12:30
Dearest Darling
Looks like another Sun. [Sunday] has rolled around, this one is as boring as the last. You just
cain’t imagine the exciting Sat [Saturday] night I had. Namely laying in bed reading a western story.
Couldn’t even go to the show as I saw it Fri [Friday] night. I received a couple letters Friday including the
$20 so I recon [sic] you finally did get my letter. About them pictures of yourself you had better send
me some or I will be mad. I won’t show them to my buddies either. By the time you get this letter you
will probally [sic] have gotten my last 2 letters. I was feeling pretty low and didn’t say how much I love
you, did you miss it? I bet not but I’ll tell you again anyhow. It is mighty lonesome over here. I want to
be with you so much only it doesn’t do any good. I would like to kiss you (among other things) just to
know how [page 2] it would feel again. Some of the time when I think of us having a family already on
the way I don’t mind it so bad. Other times I wish we hadn’t been so careless. If you weren’t such a
devil it never would of happened. Believe me I love the devil part in you thou [sic]. I just couldn’t resist
the temptation. So getting drunk wouldn’t be an excuse for doing something wrong huh? But Angel I
couldn’t help myself if that 18% beir [beer] forced me to. As always my suspicious wife I doubt if I can
ever change that. Still I love you lots and lots. I went to the show this eve [evening], it was fair. I
noticed in the previews that I have seen most of the shows that are coming. Don’t know what I will do
to pass the time now. I could go with some women, start smoking and drinking (are you jealous) Heck I
bet you wouldn’t even care as I know you want your lonesome Husband to be happy. I would like to go
to a good dance so I could dance all night or till [page 3] I couldn’t dance anymore. I think a lot about
the old times I used to have that will never be again. Honey I have run out of gab so will close and eat
supper. Tell all hello for me, take good care of yourself. Regardless of what I say inside me knows I love
you with all my heart honestly and for always. I will be true to you no matter what you may think.
As ever your Husband
Jr. Tinder
{Write lots and lots of letters}
P.S. About my W-2 form they have never gave it to me but I will see if I can get it.
Bye
