Johnny Gets More Letters Later That Same Day

Oct. 4, 1944

8:00 P.M.

My Darling Mark

         Hello Sweetheart! !

How’s my honey today? I got 3 letters from you today – 11^th 12^th & 15^th. You’re really on the ball honey. I wrote you a letter this morning – but after getting 3 this evening I’d better write again.

         I got a letter from Frank today & one from Bobby.

         If you want to know honey – I was hit in the left leg & left lung. It’s nothing serious now.

         I’m feeling pretty good – but could feel a lot better if I was near you.

         It’s getting pretty cold here now. I hate to think of spending another winter here. I was in France the day they had summer here in England. I’ll bet if I was in the states I could stand any kind of weather. I’d sure like to spend this winter with you. We wouldn’t have to worry about a fuel shortage. Right now were listening to the World Series between the Browns & Cards. I guess its about 3:00 back home.

         Well, honey I close for now & write Bob & Frank.

         What I want for Xmas?  You honey & I would be gloriously happy!

         Bye for now. Write Soon.

All My Love Always             Johnny
