Friday evening

My Darling Nick:

I had a lovely time today. Got up at eight, rushed to the post office, washed my sister’s housecoat, and Ann and I went room hunting. She and Charles want a room. We were walking along the side walk and guess who came to see my sister and I. My brother Lewis. Honey, we went out to Carey Rodman after and form there Carey and I went out to Newark Delaware. We had to go to the Dugout office after Fiber. Honey, we had a lovely time it was after six when he left.

Honey I got a letter today and oh, so nice, darling Nick I love you. I’ve thought of you so much today, just wishing and wishing you many things.

Oh, honey, it would be so good if you could get the furlough. Honey, we haven’t seen each other for a long-long time. I want to see you so so much for I love you, darling, with all my heart.

Honey, I am well and just fine. I am happy too, honey, darling, tomorrow is a big day for me. I start to work, dear.

Honey, I won’t tell anyone when you come, for I, too, want just us two to know about the furlough. Honey nothing matters to me but to get the furlough. We love each other so much. I have your letter here, my darling, and I’ll sleep with it under my pillow. All the others I get from day to day are kept under my pillow. Darling, I love you. It was lonely today, but tonight, oh, honey, how nice it would be to be together. Just Rose and Nick together in each other’s arms, telling each other I love you, honey.

Honey, I’ll wait no matter how late, you get the furlough. I’ll wait, my darling, I’ll wait for you. Yes, we could even plan to see each other someplace.

Honey, Ester is out tonight. My room is so warm, oh, honey, it would mean so much to us if we could be together. I love you, honey, so much that it hurts one.

Honey, I’m going to file my nails down so they won’t be so long. I may even polish them a natural color. Honey, how are you? What all did you do today? I want to take a bath tonight, honey, but the water is cold.

Honey, I’m closing now for I have so many things to do. Honey, I’ll write and tell you everything of what I do at the A.P.G. Honey, I send you all my love and kisses to you and only you. Honey, oh, darling, may God Bless you and take care of you for I love you so so much.

Goodnight, sweetheart,

Lovingly yours,

Rosemarie
