Friday evening

July 2, 1943

Hello, honey.

Dearest Sweetheart:

            Your letter here beside me and I wish it was you in person. I love you, darlingest Nick with all my heart. Yes, I miss you, dear, wish for many things.

            How are you this evening, honey? What are you doing now, dear, it is ten o’clock now. I just finished my shower, dear. I’m well and happy, dear. I worked hard today, dear, and I am a little tired. When I was off, dear, two people did my work and the other girl is off and I’m doing her work along with mine. I don’t mind it much, dear, only I’m tired this evening. I was even so happy to get your letter, honey. Darling, we are having very chilly weather. The night it rained, dear, and you fell asleep, remember? I wish I could have been with you, dear. Gee, honey, how I’d love to cuddle up close to you. I love you, my darling husband, with all my heart.

            I ate my evening meal at the Aberdeen, dear, with another girl. I’d love to wash your ties, cap, and bill out for you.

            I haven’t seen Eileen since I left on our pass. Have you heard from your parents, dear? Write and tell me everything.

            Goodnight, honey. Take good care of yourself, honey, always. I send all my love and each kiss to you, honey. May God bless you sweetheart, dear.

Lovingly yours,

Rosemarie

P.S. Sweet dreams, honey.
