I've kissed your medallion in a foxhole & held it agaisnt my breast more than once. My last thoughts would have been with you.

We've come a long way Nance & you've been couragous as few have. I could never forget those endearing irtues. I won't suffer you to pine & wait & year a day longer than I possibly have it otherwise.

I will come to you confident that no power, no temptation on God's earth could change you. We'll live in a Paradise of our own making. The irresistable law of compensation will secure our future bliss. I l͟o͟v͟e͟, a͟d͟o͟r͟e͟ & y͟e͟a͟r͟n͟ for you, my sweet wife. You'll be greeting me with a smile one day soon.

I am yours body & soul

Forever, Alan x x x x x x
