Hello Sweetheart Darling,

How is my darling this grand evening? I’m fine but a bit tired. Today it didn’t go so good at work. I don’t think I told you what happened about Christmastime. One day when it was cold in Dope we were over at Fabrics. At about 11:30 I went over to Dope to get my lunch and the guard met me at the door. He handed me a safety (you know what I mean) and told me it was a gift. I just glanced at it and handed it back and walked away. I said something to Alice (as she is our floor lady) and she spoke to the guard. Since that time he hasn’t talked to me or my pal Bernice.

Today they were talking to every group of girls but me and Bernice. I spoke to Millie about it and she said it was confidential. Then she called Alice over and she told me it was none of our business. That made me angry and I wouldn’t talk to her all day. Darling I’m going to ask for a transfer Monday and if I can’t get it I’ll quit and go to another plant. I don’t think I have to take insults like that and go and ask his forgiveness on top of it. I guess I have been so mad that it made me all worn out. Don’t worry about it because I can take care of myself. It will all come out in the wash. If only I could talk to you. It would make it all right. It always did. I’m trying to do it alone, but I’ll be happy when I can put part of the load on your shoulders. I miss them so very much. So much for the blue side of me.

I received your letter from Wednesday night. Did you pass inspection or is that why you couldn’t get Liberty? I suppose that is why you didn’t call. It was fate as I wouldn’t have been home anyway. I would like to talk to you very much. Maybe soon. Darling I love you and we will stick together through all of it. Love, when it is like ours, can last through a war.

I had a good test of it this week. A fellow out at work asked me every day this week to go out. Today I finally told him I had No Trespassing sign on. He said he would go home and get a pint and go to bed. Unhappy fellow. I really had no desire to go out with him. It is the first time it has been tested. I’m sure you can trust me to be true. Our love must be complete. I just want to wait for my one and only. I want him only as I know he wants me. I’ll always be your good little girl.

Baby Jerry is staying over tonight. I suppose he will sleep with me. Darlene wants me to make a list of my girlfriends. I can’t imagine why. I hope not a party for me. I got my ring back last night. It only cost me $0.75 and I paid $9 on Husch Bros. They are all taken care of. Paid in full. I’m trying to manage our money the best as I know how. I love you darling and best wishes in your Blue Manual Test. May God bless and keep you. I’ll try to write tomorrow.
Love,
Dolores

P.s. See my darling soon. I love him always. Please tell me what mom wrote you. She wouldn’t tell me.
