July 4, 1944

Dear Kathleen,

Our feeling certainly are mutual as sure had hoped you and me might get together once again. My furlough started the 1st of June and ended the 20th. So we were home at the same time. I'm sure my furlough would have been a lot more enjoyable had I known you were at home. Perhaps I could have added a little life to things back there at least tried. Kathleen you mean my once-was-gal friend or something. Well that bubble burst shortly after I came back and I'm happy to say it was for the best. I want some one for a wife that I can have faith in, trust and truly love and hope and want her to feel the same way about me for above all things I want a happy home and a small family for that gives one something to live for and work for otherwise life would be rather dull. Yes another thing as I probably will be a farmer I'll want a wife that enjoys country life. Oh! It has its up and downs but at least one is his own boss. Also can raise his own to a large degree. Today more than ever before there will be a need in farm leaders so I can't help but feel that anyone that has any experience along that line should remain there after the war but one must have a partner that feels the same way to make a real success of his adventure if you may call it that. Perhaps I should look forward to the day I'll get out but somehow I feel this war can't last too much longer. "About a year" "My guess."

Well it so happened I didn't get a good coach either way on the train so I was rather upset about my trip. I believe that I will take a bus if there is a next time. The trains are very crowded down this way also.

To be frank about Kathleen I have not even tried to date a girl since I have been down here. In my opinion a couple should really know one another before they even think of getting married or engaged. I just don't believe I could ever really get to know one down here well enough to make sure our marriage would be a success. As you know there is a lot looking for that $50 a month. The money part doesn't worry me at all but I do want to find a partner that will truly love me. This passion love wears off in a big hurry and then and there trouble starts.

Why all of this? Really I'm not quite sure my dear but you spoke the nicest things about me that I thought I might as well find out how I stood with you. I guess you know what I mean don't you?

Well I have rambled around quite a bit so I will close for now but I hope to hear from you real soon again.

Sincerely Yours

Milan
