	May 30 Wednesday Chicago 7:30 PM Rock Island Sta. Darling Peg: Never before have I been as lonesome as right now – I miss you so darn much Honey.  For two cents I’d turn around & go back. Arrived here at 3 PM & have to wait ‘till 9. It’s really hard traveling alone like this – gee I’ll be happy when I’m heading back! I Love You Peg Darling with all my heart! Talked to Winnie & he’s going to let me know in a couple of days – the house will probably be gone then so if you do get the money maybe it’ll be best to return it. If Ii only had had a full day I believe we have had it - but he said he’ll have to check on his balance etc. – maybe it’s a snowjob. but he sounded sincere & told me that he wouldn’t do it for everyone – none the less there’s pretty much hope – and he thought it would be an investment for him as well as us. So Honey keep Praying that he gives & the house isn’t sold by then! I Love You!
	The little girl we hit is fine & will be O.K. – she only has the broken legs - and they’re set – Winnie had them get a specialist. Win said the last time he was to see here she was {????} in bed reading comic books – so everything is O.K. there!  I Love You! Arrived in Green Bay at 5:30 – and I was sicker than a dog – had the chills so over to Clair’s I went &she gave me a quilt & coat to cover up with on the couch so I slept for almost two hours – am kind of tired now but just to lonesome to try & rest! We sure had a wonderful time these last 45 days – but all good things must come to an end- Well Darling there’s a lot I want to write but I’m just too damn tired to even push this pen so for tonight it’s toodle- doo – will write tomorrow – oh gee Honey but I Love You & Miss You so Much – give our Son Jackie a big hug & kiss for me! Best Regards to all the folks- God Bess you Honey! I Love You! Love & Kisses Johnnie
