Missy,
I didn't get the chance you write you this letter before we shipped out, for that I am deeply sorry. We didn't leave off on the best of terms before I left and that's not how I wanted our last talk to have gone, please forgive me.
Things seem to be heading in a worse direction every single day, we are getting ready to step off on our first mission, I can't indulge in what it contains but, people will die, foe, friend, it doesn't matter, the loss of life in this war will be extravagant as it already has reached multiple boiling points. I know you are probably following along on the news. It doesn't tell the story of what truly is going on over here. I have faith in our militaristic might to defeat our enemy, but not until many more have to die. I don't know if my name will be on that list but there's always that chance that it might. If I don't make it home just know that my final thoughts will be of you, no matter what.
Words cannot truly describe my feelings that I have towards you, it sickens me that we must be separated for such a long period of time. I would much rather be back in that house, solving our problems, holding you until we lulled off into a peaceful sleep. I promise that I will fight the hardest battles and the toughest wars to make it back into your arms one day, I can promise that. I love you with all of my heart and will find my way back to you in due time. Please tell everyone back home how much I miss them and will continue to miss them until I am back.
I will send another when I can, until then, know that I am always thinking about you. Until next time my dear.
Love yours truly,
Jolley
