I will have you with me and
will be as happy as happy can
be and that will be very happy with
the dearest girl in the world.
I love you dear with my whole
heart and so long for the day when
I can call you mine, then I'll
be the happiest man in all of
the world and dear I'll make you
the happiest woman if it lays in
my power and if my whole love and
divotion can make you so and with
your disposition and loving me as I
am certain you do my work
should be easy.
God keep you happy dear and I'll
see you soon and not leave you soon
again either. I love you dear,
I love you more than ever.
George
