G.H.N.

6-4-44

My Very Own Darling,

I could not let the sixth of the month pass without writing to you.  As each sixth goes by I wonder how many more will pass before we are together again.

It is almost ten o-clock.  Two years and two months ago we were dancing in each others arms, having met each other for the first time.  I never realised that such a strong love would ever grow between us.  In fact, I thought that I would never see you again after that week-end.  My Darling, you have no idea how thankful I am that everything turned out just as it has done, all except our being parted.  Even this parting between us has taught us something – and that is to value our love for each other.  I don’t think we will ever take it for granted after this, do you?  I am afraid that that is not a very good description of how I really feel about it all deep down but I guess you feel the same way so you will understand.

Your “sermon” duly arrived Dear.  From what you said in your successive letter but which arrived first I expected a good “ticking off” about something, though what it could be, I could not for the life of me think.

I am so glad that you have been sensible about it Darling and agree with me that if the worst came to the worst I ought to join one of the Forces Nursing Services.

I have not heard any more about it since I last wrote you and told you how matters stand.  I think that I stand a very good chance of being one of them left here.  If so Darling, I can assure you that I will stay put until you come to take me away for ever.  Then like the fairy stories we will “Live happily ever after”.  Hopeful, aren’t I?

‘Bye then Darling.  I hope you will stop worrying after you receive this.  You know that you will always have my love and that I am yours and yours alone.  Grace xxxxx
