Dear Mouse, Well, here I sit with nothing to do until
3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. I'm so lonesome I'm about
to go crazy. I miss you so much. These days are so long.
I can't wait to talk to you tonight. Gayle I love you
so very much.

I think when I get back I will treat you better. I know
I have been a bastard to live with, but believe me
sweetheart, when I get home to you I will be changed.
Some of the times I have gotten made over things I
really didn't need to. I don't know why I did it. But
just the three days I've been gone I've realized what
a good thing I had at home and how much I depend on
you. I didn't really realize it until now. But, like
you said when I get home we will start all over. I
knew God had a reason for me to go overseas and be
separated from you. But believe me when AI get home
it will be different. Sweetheart, I love you so much.

I guess when I get on the plane I'll write everybody a
letter. But right now the only thing I want to do is
write to you and talk to you. Lord, sweetheart I
think about you all the time.

I ran into a fellow I knew at Ft. Lee today. He leaves
for VN Monday. Today I bought be some stationary and
underwear. I also bought some shower shoes and a
birthday card for you. I looked for you a birthday
present, but they just didn't have anything here.
But when I get in Nam I'll find you something. So
don't worry if it's late. I am going to send you
something.

Well I'd better go try to eat some supper I'll
write again tonight. I don't know how long it
will be but I'll write something.
Please take care of yourself, Little Bit and
Snuff and remember I love you very, very, very
much. More than anything.
All my love always, Your Bobby [Wolph]

Dear Wolph, Hello precious angel! I love you so much. I
just sit and think how I love you and you love me. I wish
I'd get your letters tomorrow. But Heavens, all of these
I'm writing, you won't get 'till you get there. Your
family and I went to Tomlinson's for dinner. It was good.
I ate nearly everything. I guess I was really hungry because
I had only eaten an orange and Krystal food today. I feel
much, much better tonight.

I just talked to you! It was so good to hear you. I was
afraid you'd have to leave and couldn't get to a phone,
or you couldn't get me on the phone, but you called! Which
is why I cried, since I had thought last night was goodbye
and there were things I wanted to say, but I'll say them
tomorrow? And in case I forget, I know God made you mine
and chose me for you for all the time and eternity, not
just for a day, year, or today. I love you more than I
could every say, with a love strong enough to last
throughout eternity. And honey, I'm proud of you. You
aren't a coward, or you wouldn't have even gotten as
far as to San Francisco. Just keep your handsome chin
up and your eyes and ears open, not only to dangers,
but to new experiences. Sweetheart, we'll come out of
this year. I know we will.

I hugged Snuffy for you. He kissed me for you. I found
out He's been eating- afterall. He wasn't eating his
food because he was eating Yogi's food and Jackie
wasn't stopping hi.

Honey, I'm glad you got a definite flight. Not because
I want you to leave, God knows, but because it'll be
so much easier for you as soon as you get settled.
Things could be so much worse couldn't they?

Did the fella from Memphis before his wife had surgery.
I just got to thinking what if you had to have left
last fall?!?!
Angel, take care of yourself-I love you more
than anything- forever.

Always Yours, Mouse
p.s. I put in a copy of your will and in it is Snuffy
hair
