G.H.N.                                                                                (102)

25.2.44

My Own Precious Darling,

This morning I posted an ordinary letter to you but I suppose it will be some time before you receive it.

If my memory is correct it will be about a year now since you left the shores of England.  I wonder how long it will be before you see them again?  Not very long my Darling, I do hope.

Quite a lot has happened in this last year.  You have travelled thousands of miles, the Allied Nations have had many victories on all fronts and above all Darling, we both realise how deeply we love each other.   Lots of other things have happened as well but we both know them all so I will not waste this precious paper by recording the all here. 

Our love Darling is the thing that matters most to us, is it not and our two lives together?

Of course, I do realise that this war is also of major importance and that until it comes to a victorious end for us we have to be content with our dreams, though “dreams are not our aim”.

You asked me in your last letter if I had had my photo taken yet.  I am pleased to tell you that I have.  I have also seen the proof.  I think that the finished product will be all right but it will not be ready for another six weeks.  However, as soon as they are ready I will post yours on, so in about another two months you should receive it.  I made the appointment for it before Christmas.

In my sea letter I have told you that I am on day duty once again.  It is grand to get off duty at night and not feel “washed out”.  One does get tired on day duty when one is busy, but busy or not in night duty one feels utterly worn out at 8 a.m.  I suppose that both night and day duty have their advantages and vice versa.  However, day duty it is for me now I suppose, while ever I remain at the G.H.N.

It is now Saturday and my evening off.  I shall not go out as it is a dreadful evening – gloomy and raining.  Trying to get into a picture house too on Saturday night in Nottingham is hopeless unless one goes before tea.

If I do not close now this letter will never catch the post so “Au-Revoir”, Dear.

All my love my Darling.  Always yours, Grace   xxxxxx

General Hospital Nottingham 6-2-44                     11 p.m. My Very Own Darling, My mind has just been travelling back to exactly two years ago to-night.   At this moment I was probably dancing in your arms, I cannot remember whether or not you had told me your name.   Yes, I had made a few enquiries from various people as to who you were and all about you.   They had also pointed out your Mother and Father to me, so you see, I knew more about you before we met than you knew about me. I went to that dance with the full intention of enjoying it – and I did.   Little did I realise that night that it would alter the whole course of my life. If I remember we talked about two arm chairs at the front of a blazing fire and the wireless playing soft music.   What else we talked about I do not remember.   A lot of nonsense I guess. But it was a very pleasant...

G.H.N.                                                                                (96) 3-2-44 My Very Own Darling, Your letter dated Jan 1 st and your air letter dated Jan 25 th arrived yesterday.   The latter you hoped would arrive on Feb. 6 th but the A.P.O. must have worked overtime as it only took a week to come. Darling, you sent me a beautiful letter.   I agree with you when you say that our love has grown stronger in the last years and into something really deep.   It is something that I have never experienced before and would never have believed that a love such...

Cen Med Forces 19 Feb 44 My Very Own Darling, I had quite a thrill today when your anniversary cable arrived.   It was a bit late, dear, but it was none the less thrilling to read that you had been thinking so much of me on the 6 th .   You are a very kind and thoughtful Darling. I take my hat off to the Army Post Office.   It was a marvel that the cable ever got here, never mind just 13 days late.  ...
