November 18, 1943


Camp Polk, Louisiana
Nov. 18, 1943

Darling Mark,

Hello Honey !

Now this is alright – I got two letters from you today. The ones you wrote Sun. & Mon. I got the picture too – let’s go swimming some time huh?

Honey – I thought you took that picture of me with a mustache? I told you to.

I haven’t any pictures at all here – we’re not allowed to have cameras on the post here.

I’ll try & raise one on these maneuvers & have a picture taken with it, & then shave it.

We’re going to be pretty busy the rest of this week – we even have to work Sunday. I’m getting off long enough to go to church & communion tho.

Honey – I’m laying on my bunk writing now & thinking so much of you – I can hardly write. I miss you so darn much ! !

You’re not the only one that could go for some of those dewy kisses! I can feel one now!

Honey don’t forget to send one or two or three small pictures of yourself to me soon.

How about sending some more of those jokes you were goin to let me read? I never did get to.

I had a seat coming back across from some woman with a couple of brats that pestered the hell out of me.

I thought of you all the way back, honey – a nice way to pass the time. I just got rid of that kid again. I have a feeling he’s going to be back tho so I’ll close now & besides there go the lights. I’ll have to finish this in the Sgts. Squad room.

         Gooodnite honey.

Please answer soon.

All My Love        Johnny

  2. Yes, that would have definitely annoyed him!
