One letter addressed to William E. Johnson from Roseann dated June 1, 1966. Pertains to her emotional state. When she thinks of "us...everything sweet just flows through me and I cry." She mentions their friend Betty Lapore who has recently had a
hysterectomy. Someone has recently complimented her on her ring, which makes her "so pleased." She will be going to dinner with Joyce Tonti and is saddened by the fact that when she gets home there most likely will not be any mail.
