Scanning Issues

I scanned all these letters so I could post them on here, but it's not working for some reason. So until Mike gets back to fix it, I'm just going to type them out. I will eventually post pictures of the actual letters though.

V Mail To Bing From Art-Oct. 23, 1943

Dearest Bing:
Received your letter of October 10 today, which is pretty fast considering the distance it has to go. I also got one from Mother. She says Bob Brath is over here. I sure would like to run into him if he ever gets across to Italy.
I hope by now you have received some of my letters. I sure know how it is not to get word.
I was going to send you some money right after the first of the month as I have two months pay coming, but as you might need is by now I will send you some now and then some more when I get paid.
You had better file our income tax jointly this year too. I'll advise you later on about that. I don't have any more taken out for bonds, it has been cancelled.
Have run out of room so will answer the rest of your questions later. Goodnight honey.
Love and Kisses,
Art

V Mail To Bing From Art-Oct. 14(?), 1943

Dearest Bing:
Just received three letters from you but can't seem to make out just what is going on. One of them is dated Sept. 11 and is from Wolf Point and you say you are on your way to California. I haven't heard from you since the first of August so I am completely in the dark as to what is going on. What are you going to do there? Work or just visit. Who the heck is Frank A(?) going to marry. That sure is news.
I also got a letter from your mother and one from mine also two fro m Helen Lou. It sure is good to hear from home after such a long stretch. I must drop mother a line so will close now. All my love and kisses,
Art

V Mail To Bing From Art-Oct. 11, 1943

Dearest Bing:
Just got about 14 letters dated in August and September but still can't make out if you intend to stay in California very long.
It was quite a coincidence when you named your horse.
Haven't much time as it's to dark to see now and I still have to address this so good-bye for now. I have new APO number in case you never got my last letter.
Love and kisses,
Art

Letter To Bing From Art-July 6, 1943

Dearest Bing:

I received your letter of June 18th a couple of days ago and just now I got your letter of the 23rd.
I am glad to hear you made the trip home and back without running out of gas or having any othe rmisfourtunes.
I have run out of V mail and it may be some time before they issue us any more. So I guess I'll have to contend myself with writting air mail or free mail until I get some more.
Do you really think you can persuade Alvin to ride your horse? I don't think he has run on a horse since him and I used to work on Dan Wises ranch. As for myself, I have done very little riding since I worked tor the horse sales yards there. So it would take a while to toughen me up.
You must be planning on a long cold winter to be buying a fur goat this time of the year. I suppose though it's the best time to buy them.
I had a dream last night that I was back home. It was so real I was really disappointed when I woke up and found out I was only dreaming. Maybe I can continue the dream tonight, suppose?
I suppose I might as well close. I started this letter this morning after breakfast and now it's after supper.
Well I didn't even get to close. I had another interruption. Will write again in a couple of days.

Love and Kisses,
Art

These are pictures of the Robinson house in State Center, IA. I am really curious to know if this house is still standing. It really was a beautiful house.

This is Amyleigh Marie Robinson. She's on the left in the bottom picture.

I thought it might be fun for Amy to see her name sake. :)
