Wed [Wednesday] Eve [evening] 3 PM
Hello: You Beastly Old Bag
I am much happy today even after a General Inspection by the General. I got 7 letters 5 from
you. You sounded like you miss me a little so that makes me happier. I only wish I could be with you for
a while at least. You know that song “I Need Attention Bad” well that’s me. Boy I sure am glad I have
you tied down if I hadn’t married you before I left the States I would have had no more Aggie by the
time I got home. That I am positive about for I know by the sound of your letters that you could never
of been true to me. As for me I couldn’t do much over here single or not. One thing for sure I would of
never married one of these German women. I bet there isn’t a virgin in this country. They start [page 2]
young and never stop. A lot of 11yr [year] old’s [sic] would pass for 17 or 18 that’s including their figure
to. Their breasts would make some 20 year old American girls ashamed of themselves. (Not that I
noticed)
I recon [sic] by now you all have got used to home again? I bet Beverly was really a mess by the
sound of things. How did toonerville [tavern in Beverly, MO] make out? Yes I have heard from Bob and
Francis both, also I have answered their letters. Bob’s was 7 pages long I sure was supprised [surprised].
Yes I like frogs legs real well. Anything would beat this chow over here when I do get home I am going
to spend the rest of my life eating things I like so you better learn how to cook or I will boot you out of
my house. Of course not right off as I have a thing or two I want to catch up on. It will take a lot of
[page 3] catching to. I remember (thinking of you in that bathing suit) one time when we went
swimming by ourselves over in the pond and we parked I think that was the first time I saw your breasts
in the daylight. Was you warm natured then? I was also late to work and we talked about Jack, you was
batty about him you said you had to make your choice. Now I hate you just thinking about that part of
of [sic] the evening, the other I enjoyed. Woman you had me traped [sic] hard, I never could get away,
believe me I sure tried but it never would work. After one night out in your lane I was sure enough
hooked then you never did know for sure you had me did you? You know its [sic] funny even on the day
of our marriage nobody thought I would do it. I don’t think that letter was silly in fact I like it best of all.
I will send you a picture [page 4] of those dames in the ice show it is only out of the paper but you can
kind of get a [sic] idea what they were like. I think the one on your right on the end was the best. Angel
I think I will sign off. Tell all hello for me, please don’t stay fat after little Junior. Take care of yourself
All my Love
Jr. Tinder
I Love you
P.S. Lots of hugs and kisses
P.S.S. You ought to see the men over here they are all time wearing shorts, sure looks odd to me
personally I would rather see women in them. They also have a lot of bicycles I have saw smaller kids
then Glen riding them
