Dearest Clara,

Honey I will drop you a few lines, while I am writing to see if I get a letter from you, then I will write a air mail later. The sun has been shining some today. I have taken my bath, and washed a towel, that’s all I had dirty. I sure enjoy a good bath after, I get through working. It makes me feel better don’t you think? I found two pretty cats eyes this morning. If I get a chance tomorrow, I am going back up there and get some more. I can use them. I am fine honey, and I hope you are too. You know how I am that way. I am hoping I get some mail, so I will have something to answer. I am going to write a v-mail to Bernice Erdice right away, but I never have heard from them.

Write Soon

Rt. John R. Sankey With all my love and kisses

To my sweet wife Clara

Your husband Johnny S.
