Dear Mom,
’Hello to everyone. I know how each of you look towards my calls
and letters home. I do apologize for
not staying in closer contact with you all.
Mom, I want to apologize for missing a
call to you on your birthday, I was out on a mission as my friend Lt. Myron
Goldman told you. I do want to wish you
a happy belated birthday. I know it is
hard for being away from you but on your birthday must be terrible. Oh did I wish I could have call ya, truly I
did.
So how are you and the family? Good I hope! You all are in my prayers.
I hope Collie is taking good care of you, right? Tell her that I miss my little sister. How
is the church? Going every Sunday?
You asked me in your previous letter if I made any friends. I have, sorta. People move around so much, I can’t keep track of them.
I’ve been friends with Myron Goldman, we are actually bunking together. I think it is a love-hate friendship.
Mom, I must go. Please be careful. I
will write soon. I miss you.
Love Your Darling Son,
Johnny McKay.
