Dearest Clara,

Honey, I will get this written before I turn in for awhile, I was going to write a few more, but as I have to get up at twelve, it’s best I get a little rest, I can always do them some other time, I always get your first then if I have timed around my others. I ate something a noon that didn’t agree with my stomach, sure give me the heart burn, it has let up quite a bit now, I haven’t eaten an onion for a long time, so I can’t blame it on that can I honey? It is time for bed now. So I will ring off for this time, be careful and don’t take any wooden nickels. Sure hope I hear from you tomorrow. Write soon.

With all my love to my dear wife Clara,

Your husband Johnny
