Guy Lee Tinder, Jr. correspondence
Tue [Tuesday] Morn [morning] 9:30 AM
April 15, 1952
Hi “Honey”
I suppose it is about time I wrote you a few lines. I got 2 letters from you yesterday, 28 if I am
not mistaken I did not receive no 6, I went to Kaiserslautern so didn’t get to pick them up till last night. I
tried to write a letter Sunday but got mad cause I couldn’t think of anything to say (as usual). I saw on
one of your letters Aggie Lentz, so now you must have a divorce or at least consider you are no longer
married. Can I assume I am a free agent? I recon [sic] you are just kidding or did you really forget and
write Lentz? Boy I wish I had been with you Sat [Saturday] nite, in fact every night, but one would be
better than none. It sounds like you had a little fun which is much more than I have. I would like to
have been to your birthday supper as I could stand a few good meals. You sound like I forgot your
birthday was the 5th I admit it looks like it actually I feel like a heel not even sending you a gift. I promise
to make it up. By the way what was the wish you made? I am really curious so write and tell me. So
Elsie has a nipple in her mouth, well I would like to have a nipple in my mouth only it wouldn’t be on a
bottle. (Awful aren’t I?) You will never know how much I would like to be with you the next few
months. With no worries I could sure enjoy myself. Since you don’t want anymore children it looks
[page 2] like I will really have to be mighty careful the rest of our married life. I love you and want you
now more than ever before except when I first wanted you. That I will never forget. It was sure a lot of
fun messing with you (I knew you just couldn’t resist me after so-long) ha ha. Honestly I will admit you
put up a good battle. Why did you finally give up? (answer please) Angel I love you as much as you love
me I only hate to admit I am hooked. This will be the longest 2 yrs [years] of my life I am quite sure. It
has only started and I know it is going to be awful hard to wait till we are together again. I got my order
for school this morning, this is final, I leave here on the 21st of Apr [April] the school is 9 wks [weeks]
long. I am going to have a new address so you can start sending my letters there.
PFC Guy L Tinder Jr 55150471
EUCOM Engineer School
APO 407 c/o Postmaster
New York NY
I don’t know if that is the correct address but it will get your letters to me. Tell all the Folks hello for me.
I miss you much
Jr Tinder
P.S. I hope no one else reads some of my awful letters to you. I am going to write them anyway because
if I can’t have you I can at least think about it Cain’t I?
[page 3]
Hello again “Angel”
I will add a few lines to that letter I wrote this morn. No 6 arrived today so I don’t have to worry
about it anymore. I think it is a good idea numbering them. I cain’t imagine who could be out to Kern’s
that you don’t like for me to see. Was she there? Haha. Remember when I said for you to get some
new pants before I came home? looks like someone gave you some they must of though[t] the same
thing. Only trouble these will be worn out before I make it I am afraid. I would like to have been there
when you took your bath I could of washed your back (like heck). Do you like my 2 clippings I sent you?
To bad I am not 25 as handsome as I am ain’t it? They say Murnau [Murnau, Germany] is quite a place
lucky for me huh? Agnes I want you to send me some of my country roundup song books also the one
with notes in it. Plus that scale of notes and the sheet showing how to hold my fingers that I got at KC. I
would like 1 or 2 little picks. You can copy you off a set if you want to. Tell the folks not to forget the 2
sets of strings. You can send the books by them whenever they send me another package. I cain’t

remember [page 4] the songs worth a darn. Could send me a copy of Diftwood along with Anytime. I
think I told you about my guitar cracking didn’t I? The darn thing isn’t any good. Well Babe I will close
for now. Send those pictures don’t forget the ones I requested
All my Love

(Papa)
P.S. I saw some of the prettiest sweater blouses if you weren’t going to get big I would send you one
P.S.S. I bought your birthday present today. Hope you like it. Will send it soon as I can get it packed.
Guess what it is?
