“I know you always forget something, so I’ve written you a list this time. I mean it, don’t you show your face back here until everything on this list is marked off.”

  • One sack of flour
  • Loaf of bread
  • Two dozen eggs
  • Three bottles of Erulan Red
  • Dress order at the seamstress

“At the bottom of the list, you see a scrawled-in addition in messy handwriting: A dozen roses.”

is this a reference to something? or maybe this is just a mundane day to day letter that got lost in the grim dawn.

Dude is being given a list of things to do by his partner because he keeps forgetting something.

Wants to get her some flowers as a gift, so he wrote it on the end of the list so he wouldn’t forget.

As far as I’m aware at least, it seems to just be a mundane day to day letter.

My guess is it’s a poetic way to convey the idea that the grim dawn was sudden and people lived normal lives before.
