Dearest Clara, Will write a few lines on one of these, before I write a nother one to you honey, I have a Japanese cigarette, I am going to send you in the air mail, when I get it written, I am pretty sure they will let it go through. The tobacco probably will always all come out, but you can keep the papers and tip, for a keep sake. I got one of these today June 29^th, and sure glad to hear from you dear. I hope you are well and good, I am okay, you better be careful about drinking too much coffee, you will be so nervous you won’t know what to do with yourself, I know it’s hard when you have to sit up with Grandma. I’ll be careful honey.

With all my love

Kisses, your husband

Johnny.
