	I Love You Hon! England 1 Mar 45 Thursday Darling: Just finished taking a bath – which instead of making me feel good has me itching all over – must have been the soap! (Time out for a scratch!). I Love You! Gee I’ve been so lonesome for you all day – surely hope I get going from here soon – and in the right direction! Received a couple of letters from you today – dated Feb 9th & 12th – Honey You sound a bit disheartened – try and keep you’re Chin-up – I know it’s hard with having our baby & all – but Honey we’ve got to keep our spirits high no matter what! I Love You Honey!
	I Love You Hon! Am counting the days till our Baby comes – It’s going to be awful close to an Easter baby – sure hope everything will go well Honey – Am praying for you each day – I Love You Honey! Had a letter postmarked Jan 2nd today – such beautiful Mail Service we have around here – hope I get some new ones tomorrow – I enjoy them all no matter how old – but there’s that feeling of warmness when you get a letter only a few days old instead of months! I Love You Peg Honey! The war news is really good – hope it ends over here soon – and
	I Love You Hon! really believe it will – can’t see how these Jerries keep going – Our planes sure blast hell out of them – I really had a show when near Metz – 1300 of our planes gave the Jerries a going over – it was great! Well Darling goodnight & God Bless You! I Love You Honey! Love & Kisses Johnnie
