G.H.N. 2.10.44                                                                     187 My Very Own Darling, How nice it was to find two letters from you awaiting my arrival back from my week-end. I am so glad that you enjoyed your leave Darling.   I suppose that by now you will have got over your tiring time in Rome.   However, if you will go gadding about! Hope that the Censor lets your sea letter come through this time, telling me all about it. As I travelled back this evening I realised that it would be the last time I should be returning to the G.H.N.   That thought though did not give me any regrets.   As I have said befo...

G.H.N. 30.9.44                                                                      185 My Most Precious Darling, I tried to get five minutes yesterday in which to write to you, but no, I did not manage it. I had a hectic day, not even having time to stop for dinner and when I eventually got off duty Kit wanted me to go with her to see “Rebecca”.   It was a very good film, Joan Fontaine took the part of the second Mrs de Winter very well.   It is the only picture I have ever seen which does not deviate from the original story. We arrived back at about 9 p/m and then I decided to do some packing as I go home this afternoon for my week-end....

G.H.N. 27.9.44                                                                                                              184 My Very Own Darling, I suppose that by now you will be back with your own unit and getting down to a spot of work again. That is the only snag about a leave, it does come to an end some time and then one comes down to earth with a bang and realises that there is work to be done. I do hope that you feel better for your few days leave and I know that you will have thoroughly enjoyed yourself. You wi...

G.H.N. 26.9.44                                                                                                    183 My Own Precious Darling, I was very thrilled to receive your letter this morning from Rome*.   In a short while now your journey back will start.   I hope that it will not take you as long to get back as it did to reach Rome.   2½ days travelling seems a heck of a long time to me.   However, I suppose that it has been worth all the trouble to see all the things and sights which you must have seen. I am so glad that you are managing to get ar...
