Somewhere in

Dearest wife & Son,
Will try and write my love ones a few lines this afternoon. Hope you both are O.K. I guess, they took an X ray of my shoulder yesterday I don’t know if they found anything wrong or not. All I know is that my shoulder is pretty sore.
Since I have been in the hospital I have been hearing the news most everyday, things in Europe sounds good. Manila don’t look so good since the Japs left. And the Japs are no push over.
I suppose Johnnie is having a big time now since Spring is here and the weather is warming up. I suppose you are going to strat [sic] Johnnie to school this fall .Sure don’t seem like he should be big enough to go to school.
If I don’t get some mail before long, I don’t know how I am going to manage to write every day or so. There sure isn’t anything here to write about.
I think there is a movie here tonight that will help pass the evening. I like the news reel as well as I do the show.
Well honey take care of yourself & Johnnie boy and I will do the same.
I am suppose to get paid before long and then I can buy some air mail stamps. I know these free letters don’t go very fast.
When I won that money playing dice, I just about sent it home, But I thought I would keep it a while, once night I went to bed the next morning all my money was gone, who ever took it was sure big hearted he left me 16 peso of Japanese money which isn’t worth a cent. Also took my leather shaving kit.
I have a few air mail stamps but they are somewhere Luzon. That won’t do me much good now.
Well honey it is almost chow time so had better get back to my ward.
before they come after me.
Lots & Lots of Love
Shorty
