8:00 bells

Sweetheart of mine:

I love you. I adore you. I think you are grand, dear. I miss you, dear. The evening is cool and we’ll have to make believe we are going walking. We’ll walk towards Mrs. Williams.

How are you, dearest Nick? Be well, dear, as I am. What are you doing, honey? Are you going to the movies, dear? I went last night and saw “Random Harvest.” I didn’t go to school this evening for I had other things to do, dear. I was busy, dear, and am, oh! Very weary!

Honey, guess who I saw in the grocery store? Tillie, the girl that worked at the Averdeen. She was married in April and her husband was transferred to California.

Darling, your Sunday letter came and I’ve read it many times. Oh, honey, you said you can’t hardly wait to be with me! I feel the same way, honey. Honey, when you come on your furlough come during the day and we can meet after work. We can go to Ann’s, dearest Nick. I love you, dearest Nick, with all my heart. Ann wants us to stay with her.

Darling, it will be heavenly to be with you again. So near, dear, for close to two weeks. The longest for us to be together. Honey, I’m sending $39.00 to the toy board. I bank the rest. Honey, I’ll bank the $34.00 next payment of my check.

Honey, Esta is going out again. A little too much, dear. She has taken up smoking, now & then, and is changing a little. Honey, I won’t change. I love you, darling, with all my heart.

Goodnight, honey. Take good can of yourself, dear, for I adore you. I send all my love and kisses to you, dearest love. May God bless you, darling mine, always.

Lovingly yours,

Rosemarie

P.S. Sweet dreams, darlingest Nick.
