Dearest Clara,

Well honey, it is cooling down this afternoon. Not much to do so will write this now. I finally got your sis, Edith’s letter and wrote the song off for her. I wish I could hear some more good ones so I could send them to you. I had all of my pictures out looking them over. Do I ever like them. I just got to thinking that we only had our picture taken once, am I mistaken honey? It would have been nice to have more taken, but the one we had taken at Johnson Studios can’t be beat, can it dear? I am going to take a shower in a few minutes, I feel miserable from the heat. I just hope I hear from you tonight. Tell all the folks hello for me and do be careful. I’ll write your other one tonight, and write real often. I love you dear.

With all my love and kisses to my wife Clara,

You’re Hubby, Johnny
