Thursday Evening

Darling Nick:

How are you this evening? I hope you are fine, honey. I’m good, dear, and I’m not very tired this evening. I washed my clothes and pressed this evening. What are you doing this evening, honey? Yes, we really had a wonderful April fool day today. The sun came out this morning, honey, and about three it started to pour.

Honey, I love you with all my heart. It’s raining out, honey, and makes me miss you more and more.

Honey, Ests went to Baltimore this evening and it is rather lonely in my room.

We had quite a lot of work to do today, dear, and we were [kept] busy. I had a daily report, honey, and it took a half day to finish. Were you busy, dear? Are you tired, today?

Darling mine, I love you.

It makes me feel good, honey, for all my clothes are clean now. I’m listening to my radio, honey, and I enjoyed “Henry Alderidge’s” program. Bing Crosby is on and he’s singing “you are my sunshine.”

Darling, Steven didn’t come. Maybe he wants to see Ann without staying here in Aberdeen. Have you heard from home, honey? From George?

Honey, I’ve read all my magazines now.

Darling Nickolas, I miss you so much. It’s because I love. A week ago I was with you, dear, and we had a lovely day together. The day was warm too.

Is it raining in Virginia, honey? I’m going to dream that I’m with you tonight. Gee, if it were only real. You know, honey, this war may last years and years.

Goodnight, dear. Take good care of yourself, honey. I love you. I send all my love and kisses to you, darling husband. May God Bless You, honey.

Lovingly yours,

Rosemarie

P.S. I love you, honey.

Sweet dreams, dear.
