G.H.N. 28-10-43    My Own Darling, I am committing a great crime by starting to write this letter on duty.   The truth is that I have nothing to do for the next ten minutes so I thought I start this.   We are “taking-in” once again so I guess we shall have plenty to do during the coming week.   We are usually quite slack the first day. I have received your letter dated October 14 th .   The mail position has certainly improved this last fortnight.   I was very sorry to read that in future your air letters will have to be curtailed to one a fortnight.   I know that you will make up for then in your ordinary letters.   I look forward to your letters so much, Darling. 30-10-43 My letter writing was interrupted the other day by the telephone ringing and a voice at the other end saying “This is casualty speaking, we are sending you an acute appendix.”   We do not seem to have stopped taking cases for long, ever since.   Howev...

Still, I don’t think I should find your presence soothing – I always find it most exciting.   The result would be a still higher temp. I suppose. Did you get my wire yesterday?   I felt so excited that I felt I must tell you straight away, my Dear, & that was the only way I could think of doing so. Words cannot express with what impatience I look forward to 1 Jan 43.   A repetition of those last glorious five days was a thing I had dreamed of, but not dared to hope for!   I felt on top of the world immediately I heard & the Colonel said “Well, I told you I was going to give you another leave to get married, didn’t I?   Ah me!   Wishful thinking I suppose.   I can hear you saying ...
