Dearest Darling Peg:
Somewhere there’s a saying which goes like this “Silence is Golden” but I feel there isn’t enough gold in the world to compensate for you’re letters – meaning of course – that I never heard from you again – the last letter I received was dated Sept 1st and wrote in August – that’s a long time. Hope there’s nothing wrong with you. And then again it may be the mail – but everyone else are getting their letters so I’m wondering! I Love You so darn much that it’s just isn’t a day without one of your letters.
Hope the war ends – or at least something happens because it’s getting |
| 
| darn cold out here. And sleeping isn’t the most pleasant thing in the world when you’re half froze! It’s been raining all day – you know one of these cold rainy dreary days. There should be a law requiring everyone to sleep on those days! I Love You Darling!
Enclosed is a five franc note – ten whole cents worth of paper.
Have been drinking some apple cider. It’s a little different than that we have back home – this stuff tastes like a barrel of rotten apples – this crap they call Cognac is as scarce as hens teeth – it’s awful tasting stuff anyhow so it isn’t hurting! |
 | Hope you’re feeling good Honey -
be sure & take good care of yourself.
My foot is much better, but still
in need of care. Outside of that I’m
feeling fine. Was pretty lonesome
last night when I failed to get a
letter, but this morning I awake with
new hopes & higher spirits!
Am going to write to Sammy,
see if I can shake him loose with
a letter -
Darling be good & take care
of yourself. God Bless You!
I Love You Hon!
Love & Kisses
Johnnie. |
