A love letter written by George HW Bush to his then-fiance Barbara Pierce went viral on the internet. The hand-written letter was tweeted by many historians. The letter was written on December 12, 1943. According to a presidential historian, Michael Beschloss, at that time former president Bush was working as a Navy Pilot in World War II. He also expressed in his tweet that the letter was written with blue ink on the white stationery paper of Navy and the letter started with, “My darling, Bar.” This was the only letter kept by Barbara, in which the war was discussed. In the letter, the president also told her that he could not wait to return. While expressing love for his fiance, the president said that though it may sound dramatic, he felt that Barbara had made his life heaven and he could barely imagine that life. According to him, Barbara made his life complete.

The president started the letter by sharing his feelings about his engagement with Barbara. The president and the first lady first met during a Christmas dance when the president was 18 and Barbara was 17. He mentioned the dress Barbara wore during their first meeting in his autobiography. He said he was not good at recalling things, but he still remembered the dress she wore that day.

How they met and hit it off

George Sr. further said in his autobiography that Glenn Miller tunes were playing in the background as he asked a friend about a girl wearing the red and green dress. After that, his friend introduced Barbara to the future president while a waltz song was playing in the background. The schoolgirl Barbara was the daughter of a publisher. Bush also said that they danced to many songs that night. He said they talked a lot to each other and understood each other in that first meeting.
