Dearest Clara,

Well Dear, I have one letter left to answer, of yours, but I’ll wait until this evening to write it. By then I may get another one from you. It is a pretty fair day. I’ve been thinking about working a few of my clothes, but today is Sunday so I’ll leave them until later. I’ll sure be glad when the mess truck comes; I sure am hungry. I had a fair night’s sleep last night, but still I feel pretty tired; I sure hope things will be different when you get back home. I can’t see why not. Maybe you will get some canning done anyway. Whatever you do, don’t give up; I know what it is to do things I don’t like, and have to take a lot. But I just do it, and say nothing. But I know you will do what’s right, and so will I honey. I realize it’s tough for you as well as it is [for] me. I’m sure we will both be much happier later, don’t you think? Well honey, I will close, and write again later, so do be careful. I am.

With All my Love and Kisses to my Wife Clara, Johnny.
