My Dearest Husband:
Rec’d your V mail today saying you were wounded & in the hospital. That was the first word I had heard from you in over a month. I thought the gov. sent telegrams when you are wounded but guess they don’t.
I can not express my feeling for you honey as words wont come to me. It give me quite a set back to think you had to be hurt. Glad you got one Jap any way. At least you will feel that he got worse than you. I will just pray for your recovery & thank God that it wasn’t worse.
This is the first letter I have gotten with your new Address on it. You did not date this letter but imagine it was written the first of the month. So evidently you were wounded the first of April.
I can’t locate the 6th division in the paper but will keep looking & probably find it before long. Were you hunting Jap snipers when wounded, or can’t you say? Oh there are so many things I would like to ask but you probably couldn’t answer them.
Sure wish you could come home now but suppose they will fix you up as soon as possible & back to the front lines you’ll go.
Want to get this out on the mail. Keep your chin up honey & remember I love you dearly.
Your Loving Wife & Son
Doris & Johnnie
[Written along right-hand border of back of letter]: Don’t worry about writing Vmail, they are very welcome.
