	Sunday 18 March 45 England yet! My Darling Sweetheart: Have been counting off the days till Baby comes – and each day I’m getting a little more nervous – having just loads of time to think – naturally it’s getting me.  Sure hope & Pray that everything is O.K. – and if the Baby’s born by now I hope it’s healthy & that you’re O.K.!!  Wish I knew just what was going on – guess I’ll have to wait & see for myself!  I Love You Peg Honey! Pretty good news again – but won’t stop writing this time until I’m on my way – no use disappointing both of us!  But – I’m hoping &
	really praying that it won’t be a dry run like last time – I Love You Darling! Haven’t been doing a heck of a lot – there’s nothing mych to do – could write letters I guess – but am a little too lazy – the weather’s been perfect - spring is really in the air – and I’m recovering true to form – to lazy to even move.  I’ll really be in a mess when I get out of the Hospital – what a live this has been – just eating & sleeping!  At first it was rough but after four months I’ve decided it’s the best job in Army! Have just started feeling like myself around the stomach – that appendix beat the
	heck out of me! Guess I’m a weak sister – but having my leg operated on just two weeks before had me down a little – Did I tell you that I was awake during the appendectomy?  Had a spinal – quite the thing!  Well I’m feeling well now so what’s the diff – a hundred years from now I’ll never know it happened I Love You! Well Peg Darling goodnight & God Bless You! I Love You Honey! Love & Kisses Daddy give Joanie or Johnnie a Big Kiss for me!
