    The text of this V-mail letter from U.S. Army Pvt. Cecil Cokonougher in 
Italy reads:
“23 Jan 1944
P.F.C. Cecil Cokonougher
Hqs. Btry. 185th F.A. Bn.
A.P.O. 34, c/o P.M.
N.Y. City


Mrs. Margaret Royse

Cincinnati, Ohio

Some-where in Italy

Dear Friends, 
I will write you a few lines this evening to say hello. I am writing this 
under a little different circumstances than usual. I am writing this in a bed 
in a hospital. I got wounded by a piece of German bomb shapnel a few weeks 
ago. It wasn't too bad and I am getting along fine. It hasn't never bothered 
me too much and I have got along fine. I sure have got a good rest in a soft 
bed with a mattress, springs, and sheets something I haven't had since I left 
the States. But I'll be O.K. and out before very long. I don't think there 
will be any trouble from it afterward. 
Well it is wintery over here now as you probably know from the news. We had a 
lot of turkey Christmas and New Years. Well I hope you are all O.K. Tell 
everyone I said hello and write when ever you can. I'll try and answer too. 
Your Friend As Ever
Cecil Cok.”


Additional Comments:
     Cecil was the son of John H. and Amelia I. Cokonougher of Wisecup Hill 
Rd. in Ross County, Ohio.  Cecil's wound was more severe than he let on.  He 
received a small monthly disability pension from the Veteran's Administration 
for the rest of his life, due to the damage from his wound.  Margaret Royce 
was a family friend and former neighbor.
