"Well this is the last letter that you will receive from me till I get home....That is a very good idea of yours to pray together before we go to bed...You see, Ruth Darling, we are only here on this earth for a little while. But we have to prepare ourselves for eternity in the short while that we are here. It would sure be nice to have a little girl of our own, wouldn't it? I sure hope that the Lord lets you hold this one for our sake."
Note: The letters between Buss and Ruth will resume on September 5, 1952 after the USS Quincy's time in Norfolk, VA. Buss does not get his orders for Recruiting Duty and must go with the Quincy on its five month tour of duty through Europe.
