Tuesday Evening

Darling:

Your first letter addressed to Riverville came this evening. I dressed up this eve. in my striped pink dress, and went to the P.O. and to pay the water bill. Your letter was there waiting for me and oh, honey, I was so happy. I’m glad you got in safe, , and all is fine with you. Coming home from the P.O. I met one of my girl friends, stopped in at the store to purchase pepper plants. We started home, dear, lo! and behold! it started to rain and we got wet. We ironed today, dear, and baked bread. It was too late to go into town, dear, to the bank, so I changed my mind and will go in tomorrow. I want to see Elizabeth, dear, but she wasn’t at home last night. Another one of my friends, heard that I was home came soon. Her name is Helen, honey, and she used to work at Bel Air. Honey, I mailed your fountain pen to you. Gosh, honey, I’d ruin you good pen with my scrawl. Darling, I wrote a letter to Phyllis Stevens, Ann and mailed my badge in the NOB.

I’m gobbing away, darling. How are you, honey? Take good care of yourself, honey. See the doctor about your face, dear. Honey, I’ll send the money to you, to your new address. You might leave, honey, and the letter may lie around and get lost.

Mother and Dad had a letter from Alan, honey. And he told us he was in Great Britain. His letter was covered too. He is fine and working hard.

We had a lovely time together, dear, and both of us were so happy with each other. We want it to be like that always, honey. Just love each other and be happy. I love you, honey, with all my heart. I, too, am waiting for our furlough, honey.

Mother and I washed curtains, my thing and cleaned par of the house, honey. Next week we will clean the windows and part up the curtains. I got up at seven, dear, and mother chose one book to bed. I even take an afternoon nap, dear.

Darling, how was the slip you signed?

After I get home tomorrow, honey, I’ll write more letters. I miss you, honey, very much. Honey, I received our book from the furniture company. It was forwarded to Riverville. When we go to the store, honey, we can tell them of our address. The bill is $315.00, honey. It’s getting smaller and smaller, honey.

It’s lovely here, honey, but I’m going to buy-your place is lovlier.

Honey, I want the days rush by than the furlough, honey. I’m looking forward to the furlough, dear, and for the happiness it has in store for us. I love you, honey. I’m saving you my love and kisses, darling, for you. You’re wonderful, dear, and I adore you.

My daddy asked about you, honey, but [nothing] to mother. She doesn’t believe we want to think that I’m married. I’m still their daughter.

I was the only one home for Sunday, dear. They all write and will be home later in the month. Mother couldn’t understand why they didn’t come home for her day. I told her that I’m home. Honey, everything is fine with me.

Honey, it doesn’t get dark here until about nine.

Darling, take good care of yourself always. I send all my love and kisses to you, honey, for they belong to you always. May God Bless you, sweetheart, no matter where you go. Goodnite, dear. Stay wll.

Lovingly yours,

Rose Marie
