Letter 1

Tues Morning (sometime pre-May in 1955)
Hello Darling,

I love you very much and you should know it by now.

What gave you the crazy notion that you would be in my way? You are what I need. You are my inspiration. I need you like I need my hands. So, let's not have anymore of that kind of talk. Shall we?

I hope to get through with our beans this week. If I had some help now I could make some money combining for other people.

I love you darling and I want to marry you more than anything else in the world.
I have to go work now.

I love you,
James
