My Own Darling,

When I arrived back here thirty-six hours ago, waiting for me was a letter from you and also a parcel.

First of all I will thank you for the parcel.  Darling, I have not seen such powder and lipstick for a long, long time.  The lipstick I have tried and find that it is just right.  The powder I have not opened yet but I think that it will be the right shade.  Thank you, Darling.  As I have told you before – you are spoiling me – but I like being spoiled – who doesn’t?

Your letter was dated Jan 15th.  I was sorry to hear that you had to retire to bed for a few days with a cold.  I am glad that you are feeling yourself again.  Now Darling – look after yourself!!!  That Italian climate seems rather erratic.  If you catch another cold just send an S.O.S. to the G.H.N. and I will see what can be done about coming right over and nursing you – how would you like that?

Maybe you would not like it as I should be very firm with you.  No visitors would be allowed, your diet would be fluids only – excluding alcohol and no kissing allowed – it is infectious.

Can you imagine us seeing each other again after all these long months and not even kissing each other?

No! perhaps it would be wisest if I stayed in England until you return.  I often dream about that day.  Just to be in your arms again and hear you say “I love you, Angel.” And then I will tell you just how much I love you, Precious, and how very much I have missed you.

In four days time it will be just two years since we first met.  What a lot has happened in those two years.  I have grown to love you Darling as I never thought it possible to love anyone.  You mean so much to me.  If only the next year proves to be as eventful as the last two have been (in the right direction) then it may not be so very long before we are putting into operation all the things we have hoped and dreamed about.  Just think Darling, by Feb: 1945 we may be together again.  We can but hope and pray.  Until that day Dear! 

All my love, 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.  ...
