Our WWII Soldier Writes About News From Home, the V-Mails and Boxes He Received

April 19, 1944

Wed. Eve.

My Darling Mark,

Hello Sweetheart!!

I got your letter of the 31^st today. I got your V-mail of the 3^rd yesterday. Ah I can’t understand it!

This is a good nite to be in – its raining pretty hard.

I got two V-mails from Mary today – she said Dode was going to the Navy or Marines soon. Joyce has the measles.

I got a box from Sis today – mailed a month ago. I guess I’m lucky to get it tho.

Yes honey, I remember the “Ice Capades” – wish I was with you to see them this year.

Honey – how long do you think you will keep on working nites?

Honey I can’t think of anything to write about tonite. I’ve got to write Sis & Mary yet too. I’ve got to get up early in the morning & go on K.P.! That’s going to be nice! I miss you honey & love you more every day.

Goodnite now Darling

All My Love Always             Johnny
