Hello Sweetheart,

Well here it is Friday night and nothing to do. Mom and Dad have gone out to see the kids and I stayed home again. I received a wonderful box of candy and a swell letter from you yesterday. I’m sorry I didn’t write last evening but I had all I could do to get to bed. Mom was sick and I took care of her so now it’s my turn. I’m still not feeling good but I’m getting over it. Mom took off all week from her sick spell.

I got myself in an awful mess today. They (the heads) transferred two girls into our department yesterday from Fabric. They don’t like it and caused a lot of fuss about. Today they went to Personnel and one got sent back and the other is to stay for the day. Anyway, I was cutting polds and this Mary was working with me. One of the inspectors came over and she called to him and he came over and put his arms around her and kissed her. I didn’t say anything to her and went on working. I did say something about it to one of the fellows and I told the girls about it when we ate dinner. Someone (Alice) told the guard and he reported it and they were called about it, so naturally she came back to me. Boy, did I feel like an ass. Anyway, I guess I’ll just have to learn to keep my mouth closed, but defiantely.

Sweets, it sure is nice. I mean that week and off you get. Sure wish I could come and spend one with you. Maybe this summer sometime I can if you’re still there. I want so much to have you hold me close again. I need one of our talks so badly. I sure do miss not having you around when things don’t go right. Perhaps it is just what I need to make me stand on my own feet. Sure hope it does some good. Darling I know you need money and today was payday, but I just didn’t get my check. I’ll try and send you a couple of dollars this week. I know I’ll get it back with interest (in a husband).

I love you darling believe me. I think of you all the time. I certainly wish you were with me today as I’m going to use our set for the first time. Darling haven’t you something personal that I know of you you can send to me to put in your part of the set? It is awfully hard to use it without you. I had so planned on us starting it together. Anyway, it will be fine when you come regardless.

Guess what dear, I sure wouldn’t like to work your hours. That’s worse than mine. By the way, mine are improving. I’m finally going to get a ride from the door to the door. That means I can sleep until 6:00 instead of being on the street car at 6:00. Not bad. Say, how do you like the Navy’s food? Do you eat at the hospital or at the same as the past? Darling, tell me everything you do.

About your doing good, I’m sure you will. You have everything to work for. Your advancement, me (us), a memory. Those are all good reasons each in itself. I can’t forget also for yourself most of all. I know you want to make good and if you want to you will. I’m not worried because I’m sure you enjoy the work. Our love and future is something else so keep up the good work there. I’ll keep up the home front. I’m being a good girl. Nothing will ever happen like that again. Our future means more than a couple hours of foolishness. I’m trying to save but somehow I just can’t get ahead of the bills. Bernice just called me and wanted to know if I have heard from you. Your mother felt awful that she didn’t get her letter Thursday as she usually does. I wish you would let me go on Sunday and write her without fail. It means so much to a Mother to hear. I know from the way Mother takes it. Please take time to get that letter a week off to her. I might go out with Bernice to a show tomorrow night. Hope you won’t object. I know you won’t. I’m going dancing with Addie at the Prom Sunday night so that’s my weekend. I must close so God Belss you and keep you and keep you happy and well.

Love,
DeLores

P.S. When you get paid, try and save some of your money. If you can’t get home I may get there. See you soon!
