Same as usual
26th March 1945
My Darling Janie,
Just a short note but I think you’ll find it sweet my darling.
My ‘relief’ arrives by air today and I shall be moving on the first part of my journey in two days’ time. I have to arrive at certain places at certain times but I can give you no idea of the finish yet. Not before my birthday I imagine but within a month of that date is my guess.
The chap who is taking my place seems to be a hood type and I am quite satisfied at leaving my precious boys in his hands.
I have just received a jolly letter from you full of your spirits and I’m sorry that I won’r receive a letter from you when you get to know I’m coming. My darling, don’t write any more as the letters will only reach me months hence when I’m in England.
My pals can’t understand why I don’t show my feelings. They say to me “I should have been over the moon when I heard”. But I can’t get all excited. I’m just keeping my eye on the ball and making no mistakes at this stage. I really do want to come home to you.
Not so long now. I can hardly believe it.
All my love is yours and our little boy’s.
God bless you both and I’m your very own,
Johnnie xxxx
