September 8, 1942

My dearest dear:

How are you? What are you doing honey? Going to the show, honey? Did you work hard too, honey? I’m well, honey, but still full of mosquito bites. Right now, honey, I’m sitting on my bed and it’s getting to be eight o’clock.

It was slightly chilly today, honey. I wore my skirt to work and sweater. Honey, [I] still like the winter uniforms better.

Tomorrow, dear, you will have two letters. One has something in it. Thanks, honey, very very much.

You left yesterday, honey, and I miss you so much. I love you, honey. Oh, very very much. Honey, I want to tell you something. You said that married people after they’ve been married for several weeks-you know what I mean, don’t you, honey. I disagree with you, honey, very much. I didn’t say anything at the time, because I wanted to think by myself. Honey, when two people love each other and belong to each other will always love the way to love each other. This affection, honey, gets to be firmer and deeper as the weeks go by. I love you, honey, with all my heart. I wish you were home to take me into your arms and say, “I love you.” I’m looking forward, dear, to seeing you soon. Let’s think about this, honey.

I’m going down to White’s some evening to get my skirt and will see Ann. Honey, did you tell Ann about the blinds? Tell Don “hello” for me, honey.

Tomorrow, honey, I’ll be waiting for my letter. Without a letter each day life is lonesome. Please, honey, try to write each evening. I do, for I love you and to sit on my bed every evening with my pad and pencil is something. I look forward to each evening.

I’ve said I’m true to you, honey, and always will be. I know you are, too, for we love each other. I have the sweet feeling, honey, all for you. I sometimes wonder how I would get along without you; life would be lonesome, honey, as it is now, but I love you to look forward to seeing you now and there and letters each day.

I’m going straight to bed, honey, so I’ll say goodnite now. Take good care of yourself, honey, for I love you. I send you all my love and kisses, honey, may God bless you, dear, always.

Saving by you,

Rosemarie
