Dearest Clara,

            I will write this now, as I had a sandwich, will have to let it settle before I roll in, I have to be on guard for tomorrow. I wished I had another pair of glasses like my old ones, the ones I have now are too heavy I can’t seem to get used to them. I got to have some longer bows put on, the ones I have are too short, a little bump and they fall off. I thought it was going to rain, but hasn’t yet. I am always being careful dear, just like you are. You probably have heard from mom by this time, and got some more clothes from her, I don’t see why they can’t do the washing when you are looking after Grandma. But I know how particular you are with your clothing, so am I. When we do them we’re both satisfied aren’t we dear? Be careful and write often. Good night.            

                                                            With all my love and kisses to my wife Clara,

                                                                                                Always your husband, Johnny
