Darling:

This week is going by so, so fast for me and I am just too happy. Darling, the letter I [was] supposed to get today is still at the P.O. Esta didn’t have time to go this evening, Honey, I know you love me, dear, and I love you. I redecorated, dear, and our side looks nice!

Darling, how are you? I am fine and very happy, but very tired tonight. Honey, I saw Lou this morning, while I was waiting for the station wagon. Honey, we have a station wagon now, that takes us to work.

Honey, I am very lonesome this evening for no letter, but I’ll read yesterdays’ as I did this morning. Honey, did you get two small packages? Oh, honey, my thoughts are always of you. What all did you do today, honey?

Honey, that furlough [but come, for that all?] I think of. Also, you might get transferred closer to me, that would be so good- if only it would come true.

In yesterday’s letter you said that we are in love for sure. We are, dear, for all the time. I can’t hardly wait until we are together, alone somewhere where no one will bother us. Booth’s place is our ideal spot. Next Wednesday on the (25^th) it will be two months since we saw each other, Darling, you remember dates so well. I can remember dates too, but you have me beat. Honey, when did we have our first date?

I love you, dear, very much. We will have a lot to say to each other. We don’t have to make plans, dear, for they just come. To have your arms around me during the day and night, too will be heavenly, Honey, we won’t ask for anything else just to be together.

I remember how you were waiting at Richmond, dear, and I slipped up on you. We were happy, but tired when we were looking for a hotel. We found one, darling, and we were happy to be alone. We, both, couldn’t hardly wait to be in each other’s arms, oh, honey, our love to each other is wonderful and perfect. I yearn for you to be here with me where I can touch you and know you are here. It has to come true.

Honey, I’m going to see you tomorrow. Darling, ever since you have been in the Army I have written each night, but one Saturday, and I was too tired. Sending all my love and kisses to you and only you. May God bless you, dear. Good night, honey.

Lovingly yours,

Rose
