G.H.N. (117) 10-4-44 My Very Own Darling, To-day is my first day on duty following my week-end. I decided not to go home after all as it would have meant travelling home Good Friday and returning Easter Sunday. Knowing the usual crowd for the Doncaster bus on Sunday and knowing how Grimethorpe people like to “get away for the holidays” I decided to “stay put” for Easter and rest my weary bones here. Yes, I felt really tired and ready for my week-end. What sort of Easter did you have Dear?...

Even the pages which follow do not describe to the full my experiences, but they will give you a vague idea of things as they occurred to me. Of one thing I am sure ...

It has nearly 200 standard phrases, from "Many thanks for your letter" to "The Lord bless and sustain you in your loss", any three of which could be combined into a telegram for a charge of 2s 6d.
