Marked ‘Return to Sender’

My Beloved John,

I have recently taken to walks along the country path we once walked as children. I often sit underneath the large oak tree for hours and think of you.

Mother seems to have finally gotten over her flu. She scared us there for a while. I read to her the parts of your letters asking of her and she smiles.

I pray night and day that this infernal war would come to an end. Not only for peace’s sake, but also so I might see you and once again be held in your warm embrace.

Yours Forever,
Jenny
