One letter addressed to William E. Johnson from Roseann Johnson dated July 5, 1966. Pertains to Bill's return home, Roseann taking a civil service test and their one-year anniversary. She teases him about their one-year anniversary by suggesting
a lawyer will accompany her to the pier to implement a divorce. Roseann closes with a brief cryptic message in what appears to be a personal shorthand.
