address unless otherwise specified. Does this plan meet with your approval? Of course, I can leave all business affairs in my brothers hands, but it struck me you might enjoy being in the game to the extent of holding the family purse strings. 
I'm trying to crowd all these details into one letter to avoid the hazards of random tampering with the mails. I shall not refer to them again unless changes or additions are necessary. 
There is little more to add, except that I love you more firmly and deeply every day, and the happiness of knowing you are my wife, of remembering our heavenly honeymoon, and of anticipating the glorious future in store for us, altogether outweighs the heart-ache of our temporary parting. But I miss you, and shall continue to miss you, every minute. Happiness will not be complete until I can be near you through golden days and have your shoulder against my side and your head on my (your) arm, and your lips pressed to mine in the sweet, peaceful nights. That will be life with love a throbbing realization. 
I'll be as good as angel pie. You don't know how you've changed your hubby. The prettiest Red Cross nurse in France wouldn't stir a ripple of interest in my heart. The ripples all belong to you, dearest, forever and always. 
I love you. Je t'aime beaucoup. Ich liebe dich. I wish I could say it a thousand times. For I am all yours. 
Hubby.
