Dearest Clara,

Well honey, it is dark, but the stars sure are pretty and bright, it won’t be many days until it will be the light of the moon, when it’s clear, it sure is pretty. Honey, anytime you want to know something, don’t fail to let me know, if I can’t tell you, I’ll let you know. There is only a few things that we can’t say anything about, otherwise it’s sure nice that we write like we do. It’s sure going to be nice to see all the pertty things around the house, instead of being in boxes, but it’s the only way to keep them nice until I get home isn’t it dear? Be real careful, Write real often and I sure will. Good Night.

With All My Love & Kisses,
To My Dear Wife,
Your Husband Johnny.
