Hello My Darling,

How is my sweetheart this grand evening? I’m fine after the first day back on the job. I must tell you all about it. As I came into work the kids started singing the Wedding March. I took a bit of kidding this morning and at our usual lunch hour. Alice told us that the girls wouldn’t go to lunch until 12:00. I didn’t get it but went about my work. at 12:00 o’clock Alice told me to take off my overalls. We went to lunch at the Ad building. The girls planned a nice dinner for us. We had chow mein too. Schoff and Eliz Hawn made cake and brought them over for us.

After lunch they gave us a gift. It is a 34 piece set of china. It is darling. It is ivory with strawberries on them. They are really nice. The big bosses give us the right to take as much time for lunch as we needed. We used about 1 hour and 15 minutes. So much for that.

I’m listening to Vox Pop tonight and it sure is swell. It is English sailors in the states somewhere and it is really wonderful how they sound. Their moral is fine.

Well it won’t be long before you arrive at camp. Hope you aren’t too late. I suppose you will be though. Anyway it looks as if I have forgotten all about love. One letter gone, this one 2 pages and not a work of love. I’m madly, deliriously, and crazy in love with my husband. Please darling you must let me come out to Farragut. I miss you so darn much already. It will get lighter as time goes on. Are you planning on asking for a transfer to Mpls? That is the only good reason that I wouldn’t come out to Farragut. I’m going to work for a few weeks but then you can expect something.  Anyway, I’m in love with you and I want to be with my darling.

We got (dad got) a swell letter from Bud today. He doesn’t say much but says he is fine and likes the climate. They say the Red Cross is good to them.

Last night when I got ready for bed I came down to kiss your picture and the radio was on and they sang the most appropriate song: When I Kiss My Baby Goodnight. I went up to bed and cried and held your pillow. I miss you so much. I know you miss me too so we can confide in each others grief. I must sign off for tonight as the job was a bit hard today .Not used to it anymore. God Bless you my husband.

Love,
DeLores
