Dearest Clara,
I
will get this one written right away as it will soon be time for guard duty, I
got 11 nice letters from you honey, 8 of them were U.S., I have them all
answered so didn’t do bad did I. I took my bath early, so the mosquitoes
wouldn’t bite me, I just got through reading Ruby’s letter, to see what she had
to say, it wasn’t much, she is canning some lately, and still cutting weeds, I
guess the place was about taken by them, you two women sure seem to work about
alike, always busy. She was telling about me making fun of her cooking, but
still she wishes that you and I were there. Of course Vern too, so she could
cook us a good meal that would be swell wouldn’t it honey, I’d much rather you
were doing the cooking. Goodnight. Be careful honey and I will for you, with
all my love to my wife Clara,
Johnny
