Grimethorpe                                                                                 (99)

17-2-44

My Own Darling,

As you can see, I am at home once again.  I arrived yesterday at 3 p.m., as usual – frozen and tired.  However, after an early night and thirteen hours sleep – without waking once, I am once again feeling full of beans.

An air letter arrived for me yesterday before I left.  It was written on Feb 6th.

I am so sorry Darling, that my cable did not arrive on our anniversary.  I tried to time it so that it would.  I hope it arrived soon after.  Also you did not even get a letter from me – how disappointing.  Never mind Darling – even if you did not hear from me, you know that would be thinking about you – especially on our anniversary and  loving you as much as ever.

Maybe next year there will be no need for us to write on our anniversary – we may be together.  How I hope and pray that the war will be over and you will be home again.

Sorry I keep repeating myself but Vera will persist in talking to me.  At the moment Mother is darning Father’s socks.  Do you remember the time I darned your socks? I wonder how long it will be before I darn your socks again?

Mother and I went to Barnsley this morning and your Mother was on the same bus.   She was going to Barnsley.  I am going up to see everybody at 19’ tonight.

Mother, Dad and Vera wish to be remembered to you.  Vera says that she will write you as soon as ever she has finished knitting a shawl.

The shawl is for Aunt Hilda.  It is a massive shawl – about sixty inches square.  I am glad that Vera is knitting it and not me.  (Because of the size of it).

Yes Darling, I too would like our reunion to be “just between ourselves”.  It is thrilling to think about it so how thrilling it will be when it actually takes place.  Each day that passes brings that happy day one day nearer.

As Vera is waiting to post this letter for me I will have to tell you just how much I still love you and say ‘Bye for now.  You have all my love Darling.

For ever yours, Grace xxxxxx

2364226 Sergt. S. Bristow, Headquarters 15 L of C Signals Cen Med Forces                                                                            105. 21 Jan 44 My Very Own Darling, I’ve spent the last couple of minutes adding up and taking away and have come to the conclusion that if the Army Post Office keep up the good record they have established recently of delivering my letter to you in 9 – 10 days, this one should just about arrive in time for your birthday. Anyway, just in case it does, I’ll start by wishing you lots of happiness on your birthday – and here’s an extra typewritten couple of birthday...

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...
