Darling Peg:

We’ll have to try & see if I can
write a half way decent letter for a change.
Every time I sit down to write it seems
to be their signal for me to do something.
Have great ambitions today – plan on writing
4 o 5 more letters after this one.  They haven’t
don a thing since Friday to me – all
I do is hang a five pound weight on the
end of my foot & exercise – it’s quite the
thing. The results of my x-rays will
probably come floating in one of these days
& they’ll start working in earnest. Am
almost convinced I won’t get out because
of my wound – don’t want to dampen
your hopes – but then if I do make it I’ll
be that much better – and if I don’t we’ll be
prepared to meet it. This getting out stuff is
a funny & crooked business – with a fair
amount of money you a cinch – otherwise
you just sit & wait! I Love You My
Darling! Love Me? Huh?
1945-06-04_Page_2 Haven’t heard from Winnie as
yet – am convinced the answer must be
no! Oh well Honey we’ll get something
just as nice or nicer – we’ll never get the
same buy on it- but something will go our
way somehow! I Love You!

Honey maybe you had better pay
Mrs. Duren for my telephone calls – guess
I must have forgotten all about it!

Still haven’t sent the cigarettes - am
having trouble finding a box to send them
in. Should get one pretty quick though as
I’ve asked for one at the PX – It’s like
pulling teeth. I Love You!
Went to the show last night + the
night before – saw “Where Do We Go From Here ” with Fred MacMurray – it really
stinks Honey –There’s no sense to it at all.
Can’t even remember the name of the
other – but do know Jack Oakie was in
it – Ghost something or Spirit – anyhow, it
was a one bell picture – not to bad.
Haven’t bad any beer for sometime in fact
I don’t even care for it – If I can’t be at home
I won’t drink – hmm take that! I Love You!

The soldiers are really pouring in from
Europe – 200 + some came in here
yesterday. This hospital is really loaded -
I wouldn’t be surprised if I’ll be leaving
here soon, it’s a little early to be predicting
something like that but I just have a
hunch.

Wish I could see you & Jackie – sure miss
you just loads – and know now for sure
I’ll never be contented ‘till I’m home with
the two of you! I Love You So Much! I
can just see little Jackie growing – he sure
is the finest baby in the world!

Darling this is all for today – be good
& God Bless You!

I Love You Honey!
Love & Kisses
Your
Johnnie
