April 27, 1944

Darling Nick:

A letter came this evening and also the record. Honey, I haven’t heard it yet, but I want to know what all you told me. I went upstairs, dear, to use the Victrola, but they weren’t in. Honey, what are you doing this evening?

Honey, I’m getting two boxes of candy and 2 dresses for our mothers. I bought a $1.10 box for $0.70 at the commissary. One box a customer, dear. Also, I have two pretty cards. Honey, dresses are something they can use. I’m sure they will be happy to get them. Each gift will be signed: With all of our love-Rosemarie and Nick. I’ll do them up pretty dear.

How are you, honey? I’m fine, dear, only I had a cramp in my left foot and oh, how it ached. Remember at Ann’s place, dear. You see dear, I wear heels and when I come home I use low heeled shoes. I’m sure that was the cause. It is raining outside, honey, and I got all wet this evening. Mildred had a letter from her husband, dear; her first letter in a five weeks.

I bought the ladies home journal to read this evening, dear. I have several magazines, honey, that I’ve finished and will send them home. Honey, tell me something today. I always whisper to you, dear. I love you and say my prayers. Darling Nick, I love you and love you with all my heart. You know, dear, that I’ll always miss you being so apart. I just love you and love you. I’m asking all my love and kisses for a certain young soldier in the 48^th AAA Brigade. His name is Nick.

Honey, I’m getting very homesick to go home. I wish I was there dear, snug and warm in my mom’s house. Did you work hard, dear? We never have much to do, honey. I love you.

Oh, honey, don’t laugh at the decorated envelope consisting of 8 one cent stamps. Did you get the five, dear?

Goodnight, honey. Take good care of yourself, sweetheart, for Rosemarie loves you. I send all my love and kisses to you, dear, always may God bless you, honey, always. Goodnight, dearest Nick.

Sincerely yours,

Rosemarie
