That is if you don't mind waiting. I'd like to be there with you when the time comes. If you want to tell some of your friends we have an agreement thats ok with me. Do you mind waiting? Darling, I'm so terribly happy. You have no idea just how happy I am because I cannot express myself on paper as I could in words and actions. We both know what we are getting into honey. Its going to be a problem to decide what I do once I do get home. If only I were through school it would be simple. I asked you about that in one of my other letters. I'm afraid I was foolish to think we could work it out so easy. Guess we will just have to wait and see. I had quite a surprise last night. I received a long distance phone call. I don't need to tell you I was really guessing on the way to the phone. Thousands of miles from home and I get a phone call. Anyway it was my old fraternity brother and roommate from the U. of Iowa calling me. He was about 150 miles from here on furlough from Germany. He wanted to know if I could get a pass to meet him. I tried, but I can't do it. He is going to call again tonight to find out. I'd sure
