One letter addressed to William E. Johnson from Roseann dated May 28, 1966. Describes feeling lazy watching television in the morning. She has been thinking of only Bill and has been endlessly looking at photographs of him. Upon reflection, she gleams, "God! You're beautiful," and closes with "I love you Bill."
