	Ward B-2 11 April 45 11 A.M. Dearest Darling: Enclosed is a little card for our Boy – I was going to mail it by itself but am afraid it may get lost.  I Love You Honey! Well things are picking up around here – they do have a nurse on – and a Doctor walked thru today.  We’re going to have our teeth checked, blood counted & urinal test tomorrow – and if everything checks out O.K. we’ll probably be on our way - It’ll be at least a week yet – they say they’re giving 30 days now so maybe everything will be O.K. afterall.  But gosh I’m feally impatient (Darn Pen!) I want so much to get home that this laying around just about has me ready to blow my top! I Love You Darling! Love your Hubby? It’s raining out and the wind is blowing at a pretty good clip!  My Leg really hurts when the weather is damp – guess I’m getting old!  The wounds seem to pull together tight – it’s just miserable.  The Damn War – I see where guys who have
	served overseas probably won’t need to go back!  I had figured on getting out until I hit here – and now I doubt it very much – my recovery powers are too great – they should put me on limited assignment but having been in the army for 3 years I know we can expect anything! You can bet I’ll raise hell if they try & send me back to full duty! Above all things to happen – my Medical Records are misplaced somewhere – the only thing that came in was my Penicillin record – Army Efficiency they call it! Hope our Son is O.K. & his Mom too - sure hope it isn’t too long till I can Join you two - Well Darling keep on writing – will call or telegraph anything important.  God Bless You Honey! I Love You Loads, Love & Kisses Johnnie
