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....

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...
