I think you are a perfectly good and decent person and I am sure we we could make a go of life together. I just imagine I will  be the difficult one. Although the war is long over, the experiences of the war especially that POW still bother me very much at times. I have periods of nervousness and fear , a sort of day time night-mare, in which I am frightened and suspicious of almost everyone. I thought I had the problem licked, but the war in Vietnam has brought back all the vivid memories of war.

People tell me to forget it, it is easy said but impossible for me to do. I wish I could forget but war damages the mind more than anything else. You will have to be patient with me as I told you I have some good days and some of the other days lately I have been having more of the other days if you know what I mean.

I do not believe the problem will get out of hand but it does take effort to meet it. I wanted you to know because you will be living with it too you know. I want you to think it over carefully I am not afraid of the future itf you are not, however it may be trying at times. Perhaps you rather stay clear? PLease tell me honestly what you think now, please be frank I will understand or try my best to. I do love you and hope you believe it.
