Hello
Sweetheart!!
I love you
honey – I love you!! I got 2 letters from you today – one of the 14th
& one the 21st. Both were post-marked the 21st ????
We got off guard today at noon & had the rest of the afternoon
off. I just came back from a U.S.O. show – it sure was good. It’s been raining
here now for 3 days & sure is miserable. Just muddy as hell around here.
I got a V-mail from Mary today – my
sister-in-law. You’ve met her haven’t you? She says Joyce sure is getting fat.
I sure miss the little devil!
Our barracks are sure crowded this
evening. There’s a poker game going on beside my bunk – but I’m writing to you.
I’ve quit ever since you gave me hell way back on the “desert” – remember? I never have the time to waste
anyway! I did a lot of laundry today
again too!
I got the medal in one of the letters
too – honey. I’ll have the Chaplin bless it Sat. or Sunday, & I’ll wear it
for you honey!
Honey – I can hardly wait till I’m with
you again & I don’t know how long it will be till I get to be with you
again. I hope the hell its soon tho.
Honey I’m trying to make this a long
letter – but don’t know for sure or not whether I can. If I just keep on
writing like this & filling the pages – I might be able to write a few more
pages. See what I mean. I just keep talking & writing but I guess you’re
getting tired of this huh? Maybe I can do better honey!
Cripes – I’ve got a couple of guys
pestering the hell out of me every time I start to write.
I can only send 2 of these blue letters
a month now honey!
The way you talk honey – you’ve been
doing a lot of eating. Gaining any weight? You’ll probably need it – cause when
I get back – I’ll probably wear about 20 lbs off you – hugging & loving
you.
Honey – I hope you do send some more
snapshots – that’s something I can never get enough of. Have Lu & Cec. send
some too.
Honey can you send a picture – about a
5 x 7 size? I could keep one about that big!
If you can – send it as soon as possible!
Honey – you said you wanted me to ask
for something so you could send it. How about mailing yourself? That’s
all I really want.
If you want to – I could use some cigarettes
(Camels) you can send some candy too & some cookies that you
made yourself & I’ll see if you are a good cook. Okay? I’ll be waiting for them – honey.
You can send some gum too honey
– think you can get that stuff in one box?
Well honey I tried to make this at
least a 10 page letter but I guess I can’t. I’ll write 3 pages tomorrow nite
and that’ll make ten – or 5 pages & make it 12 huh?
Honey – I’d better get to bed now – I
miss you darling & love you so very much.
I’ll try to write more often – ever
they ever slow up around here a bit. I hope I dream of you tonite Darling.
Goodnite Sweetheart!!
All My Love
– Johnny
