Conger Reynolds correspondence, March 1-17, 1918

1918-03-17 Conger Reynolds to Daphne Reynolds Page 6

to letters I wrote about you I must have been simply wild at first. My enthusiasm hasn't waned; it has simply become more definite and steady. To the love that was impulse and imagination and sudden realization I have added love tempered by the sweetness of learning what a good wife you can be and by the sadness (if you will) of having to give you up for the time being. I love you very, very deeply and earnestly. I'm being almost remade, it seems to me, by the feeling of love of you. It affects my philosophy of life in a hundred different ways, and always toward making it saner and better. Always I wish I could have your near me. You do know don't know, dearest, that I love you as no one else could? 
Now for the two letters I have saved to read before I go to dreamland tonight. Don't you envy me the delight I'm going to have? 
Good night, honey. Kiss your hubby. 
All my love, Con.

Saving...

to letters I wrote about you I must have been simply wild at first. My enthusiasm hasn't waned; it has simply become more definite and steady. To the love that was impulse and imagination and sudden realization I have added love tempered by the sweetness of learning what a good wife you can be and by the sadness (if you will) of having to give you up for the time being. I love you very, very deeply and earnestly. I'm being almost remade, it seems to me, by the feeling of love of you. It affects my philosophy of life in a hundred different ways, and always toward making it saner and better. Always I wish I could have your near me. You do know don't know, dearest, that I love you as no one else could? Now for the two letters I have saved to read before I go to dreamland tonight. Don't you envy me the delight I'm going to have? Good night, honey. Kiss your hubby. All my love, Con. CR March 17, 1918
