Dearest Clara,

Just a few lines to let you know I am fine, and hope you are the same. Darling I write you two letters a day when I can, so I hope you get them all. Keep track of the dates to see if you get them all. Some days I don’t get to write but I can’t help that. It is raining, has been all day, the sun hasn’t been out. They have a show here, but I haven’t [gone] yet. They are all old pictures. Some of them I have already [seen], but it’s something to kill time, but I fool around thinking about you, and getting my clothes cleaned up. It’s hard to keep clothes cleaned up when it rains all the time and [is] muddy. Well darling, I will close for this time, and I will always be true to you.

With lots of love and kisses to my darling wife Clara,

Johnny S.
