I lay the letter facedown, tucked into the envelope. I imagine him here in front of me, our knees touching. I can see his eyes pleading with me. I wish I could go back in time. I sigh and tear open the next envelope. I read several more letters before I pause to sip my now lukewarm tea.

Tuesday, May 11, 1943

Dearest Violet,

I have arrived at basic training. The place is a hive of activity, men running this way and that. They always seem to be in some sort of a hurry. I’m sure I will get used to the busyness, but for now, the place feels like a thriving city, nothing like the snail’s pace of Cedar Springs. I settled in to my bunk fine, and I have met a few guys about my age. Boys from all over have traveled here to fight this war. I enjoy hearing stories of life in places like San Francisco and the backwoods of Montana. Places we should visit once this war is over.

Tomorrow, the real work begins. I look forward to the training. Idle hands and all. I hope my letters are reaching you. I’ve sent a couple to Mother and Father, too, though no replies have come my way yet. I am eager for word from you, Vi. Please let me know that you are well.

You are in my heart and on my mind always.

Love,

John
