One letter addressed to William E. Johnson from Roseann dated May 31, 1966. Gives updates on mutual friends who have been sent into service. She is looking forward to having their "drinking buddies back." Roseann mentions Lucy [sic] Johnson, President Johnson's daughter, and Pat Neugent [sic] who will be marrying on August 6, their anniversary which annoys her slightly. She asks Bill to compose "something" (presumably a letter) for them and asks if it will be signed "Ensign and Mrs." She sent Bill their tax returns to sign and that she cannot write again until she has the money for stamps.
