Philippine Is.

Dearest Clara,

Well honey, the day is sure going by fast, and I didn’t get to church, as I got on the wrong truck, just got mixed up, the fellow said that it was the right one, but it wasn’t. It rained part of the night and this morning, but has let up now, it still looks like it will rain again any minute, I didn’t write one of these last night as, there wasn’t a thing to tell, honey. We keep looking for some mail, but that’s about all the good it does, maybe I will get a letter from you to-day I hope! I got my shaving over with & my teeth finished, so that’s done for the day. Honey, I hope this finds you well. Do be careful, as I surely will. Write Real Often.

With All My Love & Kisses My Darling Wife Clara.
