My Dearest Honey!
Received another flood of mail
today – 5 from you, 3 fro home &
one from Edna & Bill! Am sorry
to hear that my mail isn’t coming thru
to you – I hope by this time you’ve
received all that I’ve wrote – since
being hospitalized I haven’t been
writing as much as before – but at
least 4 letters (or notes) have left
here every week – felt kind of bad
that you’d even think I’d
write everyone else & forget you -
because whenever I do writ it’s a
letter to you first & then if there’s
time I write the rest! Can’t write
1945-01-13_Page_2 a suitable explanation why I’ve let
up a little – but there’s definitely a
reason – will tell you when I
see you!!  There’s one think I’m sorry
I did – and that was giving you the
impression that I’d return to the front
shortly – I knew better – but didn’t
want you worrying about me!  I Love
You Peg Honey!  It all hasn’t been to
Rosey Hoey – My knee is feeling much
better – but is stiff & sore – and more
than likely be a constant reminder for a
few years to come – hope not – but joints
are pretty delicate (and not beer joints)!
And the other stuff is what we’ll discuss
rather privately!!  I Love You Darling!

Am glad you were up home
for Xmas – I was certainly hoping you
1945-01-13_Page_3 would!  Wish I was with you!
I Love You Darling!

Honey each day is bringing us
closer & closer to our first child – am
quite worried and would like to be
at least in the States when it comes -
Mu hopes are high – Honey to tell you
not to be afraid would be like telling a
guy to stand up under fire – but be brave
Honey & I’m sure all will come out
well! My Prayers & thoughts are with you every minute!  I Love You Honey!

Had letters from Ma, Sam and
Ann—all served well at home – Sam
sounds as though he’s growing up – and
Ann just as devilish as ever! Mom
sounded quite concerned about all --
each letter mentioned you – I’m convinced

that they’ve finally realized that I have
the finist & most wonderful wife in
the world!!  I Love You!

Bill and Edna have been having luck
with Bingo – he naturally listed
everything he’s won in the last month!

Well Darling five my best
regards to all!  Am going to Holy
Communion tomorrow! God Bless
You!

I Love You Darling!
Love & Kisses
Johnnie
