	England 19 Feb 45 Monday Get 4 letters today – two from you + one from Claire & Josephine – Claire really wrote a long letter – it was about ten pages - and you know how small she writes - well it was really something – a pretty nice letter – will have to answer it as soon as I can – Josephine’s was just about the size letter I always write – only she had a few other nurses write a few diddies – was kind of nice! But of course the best were your letters – I sure Love
	You Darling! Am always eager to get your letters – but now that things are so close to your D-Day I’m doubly eager!  I hope & Pray that all goes well for you Honey! Your letters certainly sound as though all’s going well! I Love You! Am feeling fine – and really have hopes of things getting going soon – at least I hope they do - I’ll be a nervous wreck pretty soon! I Love You! Don’t know too much about the fellows in My Company – what I do know can’t be wrote anyhow! But “Chess” is still going – which is something at least – I Love You!
	Am going to write Joe a note tonight – Claire sent his address 00 that will be something – as it’s been such a long time since I’ve written him! Well Darling good night & take care of yourself – Am Praying for you Honey! God Bless You! Love & Kisses Your Johnnie 57.40 + 372.30 = 429.70 + 200 = 629.70
