Carroll Steinbeck letters to Evelyn Burton, July-August 1945

The "Hit Parade" just came on so maybe we will hear the new songs soon after all. There is a lot of static, but that doesn't bother us after not having a radio at all. 
I suppose you guys have gotten used to apartment life by this time. That is if you haven't torn the place apart already. I'll bet it has at least undergone some changes. 
Darling, I can't help wondering how a guy can stay as happy as I am. I love you so very much honey. The more I think about it the more I think I'll try and marry you as soon as I get home, even if I can't afford it. Thats silly, but thats just how much I love you. I'll be the proudest and happiest man in the world when we can say "I do". 
I'm anxious to hear what our folks say now that they know about our plans. Golly honey, the way I feel you'd think I was getting married tomorrow. There are several songs on "Hit Parade" that I'd never heard. However, the static got so bad we had to turn our radio off. Darn it!
No word from Ken's yet about the expected addition to the family. I guess that is one thing we can't speed up. News is running short again honey.
