My Darling Mark

         Hello Sweetheart! !

I got a letter & a v-mail from you today of the 2^nd. They both got here the same day – but the v-mail would have got here first if you had of used the right address.

I could read the v-mail very plain honey. The ink didn’t make ay difference. Honey, you can [catch? sic} a bus at the Terminal at 9^th, maybe that will take you out home.

I’m feeling okay honey & my leg is nearly healed up. I guess about next week, they’ll cut the scar out & close it. Then I’ll be thru – I hope!

It’s been raining constantly all day & it’s getting pretty cold.

I slept most of day, didn’t even get up for breakfast. It’ll sure be a shock to get up for reveille in the mornings again after I leave here.

How about some more pictures honey? I love you & miss you more every day honey. Got to shave now before lights out! Bye for now, Sweetheart! Write soon.

All My Love

Always      Johnny
