	B-8 Sat. June 2nd 3:30 Dearest Sweetheart: Another day has quietly slipped away–didn’t do nothing–Just had a few x-rays taken + that was the crop.  Surely hope they let me out – but am going to relax + let them take their time.  They have a new way of discharging now – You don’t have any idea as to what compensation you’ll get ‘till after you’re out – the compensation board is in St. Louis – Oh well who’s getting out anyhow? Such is life in the Army – Just one big question mark! I Love You Honey! Try + get some pictures of Jackie – as I’d like one + we can send some to our friends.  Hope He’s fine – every 4 hours I think of him eating & stuff – gosh but I’m lonesome for you too!  I Love You So Much! Haven’t heard from Winnie yet.  But am expecting to any one of these days – if the news is good I’ll call.  Sure would like to get a start – but then if we have to wait we can do that too as we’re old hands at this waiting game.  I Love You Honey!
	Hope all at home is well – Suppose all the kids will be out of school soon – So you’ll have company during the summer months – hope I can get in a bit of the summer home myself – it’s to early yet to know whether I’ll have the good fortune or not! If I’m here another months I should get another 30 days – but if I find a chance to get out the furlough can to to heck! Well Darling be careful & take darn good care of yourself and Jackie.  God Bless You Both! I Love You! Love & Kisses Johnnie
