Dearest Clara,

Well honey I am going to bed in a jiffy but I will write this one. I have the other one written, the Cpl. just had another mail call but I didn’t get any this time either there were just a few, tomorrow should be the day I get more mail. It sure is nice to have the sun shine, my clothes feel as nice. To put them on dry, I know they will be good and dry when I get home, you will see that won’t you dear. I want to get up pretty early in the morning so I can get shaved before chow, I didn’t get it done this evening. It looks like pretty neat all the guys are writing letters. Well dear I will close for this time, always thinking of you and hope you are too. Write soon. Goodnight.

With all my love to my dear wife Clara,

Your husband Johnny
