Dear Molly,
Oh how i wish i could be with you right now, to be able to spend all the holidays together. It is so hard for me to be so far away from you at the moment. To not be able to hug you, kiss you and tell you all that i want to say. It is so frustrating to know that the only way i can communicate with you is by letters that take so long to arrive. Only if we were closer i would maybe even try smoke signals which might as well get to you faster. If letters would get to you in just a matter of seconds i would write you one every second of the day. If letters would come and go any faster we would be able to have great conversations just as if we were closer to each other. I think that i might start trying to figure out a way so that soldiers could communicate with heir loved ones faster than just letters that take so long. I promise i will do that effort for you. Now i must go back to work my dear molly, i love you oh so much.
lovingly,
Matti.
