Friday evening

Darling:

I heard your voice this evening and oh, I’m so happy, dear, you’re talking to me, dearest Nick, was wonderful. I met the lady on the third floor, asked if she had a Victoria when up and came down at eight thirty. We had coffee and doughnuts and gabbed. I played the record dear, and talked to you silently, sweet heart, saying I have you and love you.

Darling, I took the afternoon off and bought a pair of shoes with stamp 18.

Miss you, darling, very much. Honey, it would be marvelous if we could be together. Let’s try, darling, for I want you and want to be with you. Your letter of Monday evening came today, darling, and I’ve read and read.

How are you, dear? Did you work at the office and out on the firing range. Did you make a good story? I know you did, dear.

Honey, I’m answering all my letters to the family and telling them not to write until I get home. When I leave here, honey, there won’t be any letters lying around.

I’m fine, dear, and getting along. I would be better if we were together, oh, honey, I love you with all my heart.

What are you doing this evening, honey? I’ve had my bath, dear, and am sitting in my bed writing to my husband. Wish you were here beside me, dear. I’d reach for a kiss, dear, and have you love me. Yes, that’s just what Rosemarie would do.

Have you heard from the boys, dear? From Ann? How’s everyone?

Honey, will do something for me. Send Dan’s address to me – I’ll look him up, honey. Take good care of yourself always, honey. All my love and kisses to you, honey. May God bless my husband always.

Lovingly yours,

Rosemarie

P.S. Honey, I love you.
