My Darling Wife:

Believe it or now but a couple
of my Xmas packages arrived – and the
most important one, yours, was one--
Honey the ring fits perfect – It’s
beautiful – I Love it!  The stuff
was pretty well beat up – as I
expected – but still wonderful! Hve
been feasting on candy bars all day -
will look like a Hershey pretty quick!
Also had a box from Bill & Edna -
It was filled with eats!  Christmas
was late but enjoyable! The cigarette
lighter was really a God-send ‘cause
matches are almost nil here! I
Love You My Darling!  Have had
oodles of mail – so much that
1945-01-17_Page_2 I can’t do justice to it – even Uncle
Bill wrote – and I received an
awfully nice letter from Father Hughes!
Must try and answer so many as
I possibly can – but I’ve been having
a hard time staying awake long enough
to write! Getin Lazy – hey? I Love You!

The war news has certainly been
encouraging – we just heard that
Warsaw was liberated – those Russians
will wind Hitler’s tail around a few
notches!  Can remember when we’d
get Prisoners how happy they were to
be captured by Americans than Russians -
They’re really afraid of those Russians and
a good reason why they should be! Maybe
this thing will end one of these
days after all – I hope and Pray! I Love You!
 1945-01-17_Page_3 There isn’t any more news on
getting back – Am just waiting & praying!!
Gee Honey I hope everything goes O.K.!!
I Love You Hon!

Won’t be long – hey Mom!! I’m getting
more concerned every day – and am
looking forward to it eagerly!  Not that
I didn’t before – but it’s more so now! I
Love You Honey!

Goodnight Darling! Thanks a Million
for the ring and stuff – I Love You So
Much Hon!

God Bless You!
Love & Kisses & Hugs
Your
Ole Man
Johnnie
