Conger Reynolds correspondence, March 16-31, 1918

1918-03-19 Conger Reynolds to Daphne Reynolds Page 6

know how powerfully your frequent bits of encouragement of my purpose over here have helped to keep up my morale.  If every wife and sweetheart is doing as much we are bound to win, for morale is one of the biggest factors in winning victories.  I'm trying, oh, so hard, sweetheart to do my modest little bit with skill and courage if for nothing more than to merit the pride of my loved ones back home.
That letter from Paris, 1916, must have seemed odd under the present circumstances.  I wish I could remember what I said in it just as I wish often that I could read again our correspondence before last summer.  We'll have to get together on that some long evening in the piping times of peace.
Now that I've rambled through three of your letters I'll leave off until tomorrow.
I love thee.  Every hour I love thee.  And always it is with all my soul.  Le t' embrasse, beloved.  Your own Conger
