Received your letter yesterday, Honey. I sure was glad to hear from your, I missed your letters so much. Just counting the days until I see you again.
I haven’t asked for a transfer yet and I guess it will be my luck not to get one when I want it.
This is what I have planed, if you know what month you will have more time off I will ask for my transfer for that time and try to get some time off before I start to work out there.
I told three if my best girl friends about us and they are glad that I have found someone like you. They have been married over 10 years. They say I will be happier than I am now and I think so too.
I heard from Pauline today she said that Louise was married so I guess the love bug bit her too.
I will be looking for the watch, I broke my old one and I didn’t like it anyway, so I won’t have it fixed.
Love,
Pauline

Summers are all too short in Jackson Hole, we try to cram as many activities as possible on the weekends until the snow flies and ski season get into gear. Whether playing music, glamping, fishing, treasure hunting, or skiing, I’m out doing something almost every weekend, all while squeezing in a little quick and creative cooking.
Winter of 2018 I won an awesome GoPro Hero 6 and swag from the GoPro people at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort so I thought I would give YouTube a try. Think of my channel as a grab bag of family adventures and Wyoming lifestyle.
I am having a new crystal put in the wrist watch and as soon as I gt back to the mainland I will mail it to you.
I am crazy to see you again. While I was writing these few lines to you I received your letter written August 20, so I will stop and read it.
I am missing this letter from Pauline.
So your family think you are kidding. It will be a surprise to our friends and relatives. The first time either one been married. It’s alright with me any arrangements you make about your job and your mother just so wwe can all be happy.
I will get some time off for Christmas. I told Lieut Lett confidential about us but it was too good to keep secret so all the Naval Officers aboard ships know about it and they are planning on giving us a party and giving us a big time when we get married. So we will be a “King for a Day” ha.
I will let you know more later when I get back to the mainland.
My “Precious One” I think about you every day and think you are going to be part of me and I know we will be happy, we will plan together, live and be happy alwasy until we are old. My father was very tough on us kids but he was a Romeo to my mother. We will have lit of thing to talk about later.
I was over at Mr & Mrs Halley last year and ate supper they are very nice to me. I think lot of them.
I will write you more when I get back.
