G.H.N.                                                                      (129)

19.5.44

My Very Own Darling,

Your sea letter written on April 9th* has arrived.  As usual Darling it was a very long and interesting letter.  I wish I had as much to write to you about.  I am sure you must find my letters awfully dull at times – and when I do find something to tell you – well, I guess they are never enough.

However, Darling, I am always very happy to receive your letters.  Thank you also for the programmes which you enclosed.  I do envy you, you know – seeing all these operas.  You had better not go to too many as you most probably will see them all again at some future date – with me.

I was very interested hearing your views upon the R.C. religion.  I agree with you – the Church has got the people where it wants them.  I think the main object of the R.C. Church is to keep the people in ignorance and poverty so that they do not know any better than to obey anything which is demanded from them.  Also I think that they are taught a great fear of the unknown and should they cross the Church in any way they would be sent straight to “Hell”.  

However, as we are a free country and have freedom of religion I suppose they can go their way and I will go mine but that is my view upon the subject.

So you spoke to a girl from Rossington did you?  It was a coincidence that she should come from Doncaster.  I can quite understand how you felt meeting an English girl – especially one from so near your “home town”.  I bet you found a lot to talk about.

I am now awaiting a letter from you telling me whether or not you managed your six days leave.  If you did it will be over by now.  I hope you did.

Did I tell you that I had an invitation to go to London for a week-end?  I should start my week-end a fortnight as yesterday and an Irish girl here has a sister living just outside London.  She is having some of her holiday then and wants me to go down and stay with them.  I am seriously thinking of accepting the invitation.  

No more space Darling – so all my love, Grace xxxxxx

 * This will be another of the missing 'sea' letters, as we have no letter written by Stan on 9 April.

G.H.N. Sunday 23-4-44 My Very Own Darling, I was very pleased to receive the photograph you promised me.   I think that it is quite good and it is now sitting in the middle of my dressing table.   I wonder if you have received mine yet.   Yours only took ten days to come.   A sea letter in ten days!   Not bad is it?   I love receiving recent letters from you. Today is my half day.   It is another beautiful day and quite warm.   I would like to go for a nice long walk but I have not got the energy so here I am lazing on my bed and writing to you.   Maybe I will go out this evening as my friend will be off duty at 5 p/m. All being well, I shall be going home this coming Tuesday until Thursday.   You see my week-end is due when Sister is away so I am making sure of it and having my time off before her holidays. I was sorry to hear about Paul*.   I wonder what can have happened to his fiancée?   I can well imagine how...

G.H.N. 20-4-44 My Own Darling, An air letter and a sea letter arrived from you yesterday so I consider it was my lucky day. The sea letter was the one containing the snaps you had taken in the cafe.   I think that they are very good ones.   Have you sent any home?   If not I will take these when I go again. How is it that a fountain pen never lasts long with me?   I have broken this nib and it is really a nightmare trying to make it scratch this letter to you.   Yes, I know that I need not try and put the shame of my bad writing on to this broken pen nib and I also know that it cannot make it much more illegible than it usually is.   (Thought that I would save you the trouble of passing a few sarcastic comments). Vera decided to surprise me yesterday.   She baked me one of her special malt loaves.   My friends here and myself certainly appreciated it. Ah! That is better – a friend has lent me her pen. I may probably be going home n...

G.H.N.                                                                                (122) 27-4-44 My Own Darling, I have just returned from spending a couple of days at home.   You can imagine how thrilled I was to find two air letters and a sea letter waiting for me.   One air letter you had written on the 16 th of April and the other on the 19 th .   Your sea letter you had written on the 2 nd of this month and in it you had enclosed the enlargement of one those snaps you sent me.   Thank you for it Darling.   I liked those snaps better than any you have had ta...
