Friday Afternoon

[March 6, 1942]

My Dearest Nick,

At last, we have finished for inspection. I started to work at nine, honey, and I am not tired. Dear Nick, I am using one of the Parker Pens and they are very nice. Our store side load is very nice, dear, and several fellows have given compliments. Honey, I miss you, each day and night. Received a letter, dear, at eight-thirty this morning and it’s good to get one. Darling, when the post office handed me your letter, I couldn’t wait to open it. Honey, it was sweet.

We received pillow toys today and I saved one for myself called “Remember Be”. Do they have them at your PX [post exchange]? Honey, can you get one on insignias to wear on any sweaters. I would like to have one, dear, very much.

Honey, did you like the “Fleming Bank”? What are you doing at this time? It is close to five o’clock. We are not very busy, dear.

Honey how are you? I imagine you are resting. Yes, I can see you talking to your friends. Do they have girlfriends, too, honey?

Honey, I want to tell you something. A something that is very important to say to you in each letter. I love you, my darling, with all my heart. And that is very much. To me you are everything. Today is Friday and it seems like Saturday to one. The days are passing quickly, dear, so that time will seem short. Honey, even if you don’t get your furlough, you may transferred closer to Aberdeen and we can see each other more often. What a wonderful thought I have! I am always and always thinking of the time we could be together for all the time. Yes, we will have a lot to discuss about ourselves. I love you, my darling, so much that I am always thinking of you, and of all the memories that we shared together.

Honey, fellows are coming to my counter, so I’ll close with love to you.

Rose
