My Very Own Darling,
It is Good Friday today and I’ve just been thinking of past Good Fridays and what you will have been doing to-day. It is a really warm day today and I have spent the whole of my lunch hour down on the rocks by the sea dozing and thinking of you and wondering if it is fine at home and if there is a fair on Brierley Common, and all the host of little things one used to connect with Easter before the war.
Today has been made all the more happy for me too, Darling, by the appearance of a letter dated 30 Mar from you. Not bad going, eh?
I am sorry to hear that you
hadn’t got my letter containing the “sermon”.
I wonder if it has arrived yet?
If it hasn’t let me know and I will tell you what was in it for it was
quite important. You asked for my views
on making a choice between (a) fever nursing (b) Queen’s Nursing and (c) the
Forces if you were compelled to make a choice, and so I gave them to you. Actually I said that if I were in your shoes
I should choose (c) BUT only if there was no chance of your staying at
Nottingham. But I won’t expand on this
theme here. If you haven’t got the
letter by now let me know and then I’ll repeat the “sermon”!! Did my
view surprise you?
I was very interested to read of the latest acquisition to our collection – the sheets bought by your Mother. I am entirely in agreement with your motto of “a little but good”. It is by far better than a lot which is cheap and nasty!! Believe me Darling I am looking forward to the time when I can slide down between those particular sheets!
I’ve told you before, Darling, you are aggravating at times. What was the piece of Grimethorpe news that you had but couldn’t tell me?? See .... You’ve whet my curiosity.
You ask if I’ve seen any films of late. Well, we get two a week here you know, but they are usually very antiquated and not worth writing about. Last week we had a George Formby film “Much too Shy” which was very amusing, but very silly. I haven’t been to the Opera any more since I last told you about “Madam Butterfly” but tonight I am hoping to get into town to see the London production of the Franz Lehar Operetta “The Merry Widow”, which is being presented by E.N.S.A. The music is grand, so it should be O.K. I wish that you were coming too. We have had quite a full week this week as far as entertainment is concerned and it is being rounded off tomorrow by an ENSA concert, following which the Sergts are entertaining the artists in the Mess.
Personally, however, I would much sooner they got on with the war and got it over with so that I can come back to a certain little girl who loves me very much and about whom I am always thinking and simply longing to take in my arms again. There’s no prizes given away for guessing the name, Darling, for I know that your guess will be right first time!!
Yes, Darling, it is you I am writing about.
Work is beginning to pile up in my tray, dear, so I am afraid I must tear myself away and clear some of it up before I go to tea.
I have got time, however, just to let you know that I am loving you just as much as it is possible to do and thinking of you and the future we are going to spend together, at every possible moment.
Having your love Darling, although at the moment it is but written, is really thrilling. Without you, life would have no sparkle at all, Dearest. All my love, Stan xxxxx
