Dear Kathleen,
You surely took us by surprise! Your Christmas card came in the mail yesterday and then Ray came in last night with a telegram. Today your father's letter came telling about all the excitement. We both wish you the very best and hope you will be extremely happy.
I hope you will forgive us if we delay sending our gift until after I get to Denver. Ray can not get away to help pick it out and since Nashville is the nearest place to do any real shopping- we did our Christmas shopping over there- we agree that it will be best to wait until I am in a bigger place.
I regret very much we cannot be there for the wedding. However, it is impossible.
In regard to our coming by way of Topeka, Ray insists that I am to go straight west from here to Pueblo, keeping as far south as possible. I really would rather come by way of Topeka as I want to pack our possessions and send them on to Denver. This way I will have to make a trip by train that isn't anything to look forward to with traveling conditions what they are.
Since Johnnie and I are making the trip alone, and rather than to worry Ray when he has so much on his mind. Anyway, I shall do as he wished.
I hope you can be with Milan soon. Being an army wife has its disadvantages, but it is better than not being married. Ray and I have had almost three wonderful years tearing around together. When this is over, we can settle down with a bunch of happy memories and be glad we spent the war years together.
Please give our congratulations to Milan and the best of luck to both of you.
Love,
Margaret and Ray.
