Wednesday Evening

Sweetheart:

How are you this evening? Did you work hard today, dear? What picture did you see, honey? I’m fine, honey, and feel grand and happy. I came in about 45 minutes ago, dear, and have washed my hair. My hair is combed, dear, and I have two pigtails. I worked hard today, dear, but don’t feel very tired. Honey, after I finished writing to you last night, I came ill. Oh, honey, your pass came in time for us. I don’t have the cramps, dear, I feel fine all day today.

My prunes are stewing for breakfast, honey.

Ests went to school at Wavre de Grace, dear, and I am here in the room. Several girls were here gabbing with me, honey, but left.

The day was chilly, dear, for we had rain this morning. I wore my black skirt today, honey.

Honey, there is something I want to tell you. It is important, honey. I love you, darling Nick, with all my heart. It’s with all, all of me, dear, that I love you. I miss you, dear, very much.

Mrs. Nicalosi took off again today, honey, she was ill. She really looked bad, honey. I’m glad I don’t have sick spells like that.

Wish you were here, honey. I’d like to sew more buttons or patch, honey. What are you doing, honey? Have you received a certain black fountain pen, dear? Honey, I forget to give it to you. I love you, darling Nick, very, very much.

Goodnight now, darling nick. Take good care of yourself, honey, for I want you well. I send all my love and kisses to you, dear. May God Bless You, dearest Nick.

Goodnight, honey.

Lovingly yours,

Rosemarie

P.S. Sweet dreams, honey. Wish I could dream beside you tonight, honey.
