One letter addressed to Roseann from William E. Johnson dated February 8, 1976. Bill writes that he left late from his visit to Bernie's, causing him to miss his train. Today he attended Mass with his mother, Norm, Kathye and John and then went to
his Aunt Cass'. Bill mentions his mother's ulcer which caused her to feel "bad all day." He describes his visit to Bernie's as depressing and although he loves his family, he is glad they do not live very close to them.
