	England 3 March 45 Saturday I Love You Hon! My Darling Wife! Haven’t had any mail the last couple of days – sure hope I get some tomorrow as I’m really lonesome for you Honey! I Love You! Have been thinking about what we were doing a couple of years ago today – and last year too – it was all so wonderful – we sure make the most of everything we did and I’m sure glad we did – they are memories that are a morale lifter! Gee How I wish it were possible for me to be home with you this year! Honey each year I Love You More & More – My Hope & Prayer
	I Love You Hon! is that next year we’ll be together for good – the chance are really good that we may be! I Love You! Remember how busy we were two years ago today – there was so much to do – and it was all just loads of fun! and then last year we had a big time – can’t remember the names of the people or place we were – but it was wonderful!
	I Love You Honey! Honey in case you get a letter from some guy telling you about the situation here don’t be surprised – and I believe you’ll understand a little better just what the score is! It’s still under control! I Love You! I Love You Honey! If I get home I’ll call you at 676 M – Just in case – ya know! I’m going slightly nuts waiting – but won’t give up until they tell me otherwise! Hope our Baby isn’t giving you to hard a time – I sure hope all goes well! Don’t know whether I want a boy or girl – but won’t be choosey – cause I ‘spect we’ll take what we get – and Love it! Well Darling goodnight – I hope you are well! God Bless You! I Love You Hon! Love & Kisses You’re Johnnie
