Grimethorpe 2.11.44                                                                      204 My Very Own Darling, Another month has started which means just one thing to me – yes, I guess it means the same to you – one more month off our period of waiting.   My Dear, how I wish it were the last month we were going to be apart.   I suppose we will have to spend a few months separated yet.   Ah me! such are the trials and tribulations of this life though I realise that we are very lucky really. Yesterday nothing spectacular happened and it was so cold that I did not go very far from the fire.   In fact I spent the greater part ...

Tuesday, 31 October, 1944 - Two letters from Grace

Grimethorpe    31.10.44                                                                                   202 My Most Precious Darling, The post man here has been busier than usual as he delivered two letters from you to-day, one by this morning's post and one this afternoon.   Of course that put me in really good spirits for the day. I have only had the opportunity to-day of reading your article in the Yorkshire Times about the football match which you wrote and told me about*.   The paper had been lent out and has just been returned, that is why I could not comment upon it before.   Ho...

Sutton Askern 28.10.44                                                                    200 My Very Own Darling, As you can see by the above address I am now at Askern, staying with Kit for a few days.   I came yesterday and will probably stay until Monday morning. Before I left home yesterday I received three letters from you – two air-letters, both written on the 22 nd and the sea letter including scenes of Rome and Naples.   The latter was up to your usual standard, Darling.   It was very interesting.   How I wished as I read your letter that I had been with you on your tour. The scene which you describe when you got into the...

Wednesday, 25, & Thursday, 26 October, 1944

Grimethorpe, 25.10.44                                                                   199 My Own Precious Darling, Thank you for the “Crusader” and “Parade” which arrived this morning.   You did not tell me that you were sending them so they came as quite a surprise.   Have not had an opportunity to read them properly as yet, as this morning I caught the 10 a/m bus and went with your Mother to Barnsley and now my Father has got his head into them. When we arrived in Barnsley your Mother went to have her teeth fitted and then we spent a good few hours scouring the shops. Your Mother told me that I could chose something as a birthday and Christmas ...
