My Own Darling,

What a climate ours is!  Yesterday was a beautiful day and quite warm but today it is very windy and just like a March day.  However, it is not raining so that is something to be thankful for.

I have just seen Nan off on the bus.  This is the first chance I have had of seeing her since she came down to Nottingham a fortnight ago.  We went to the “Granary” for tea – remember the place?  We then decided to go to the pictures and saw Mary Astor and John Bales and several other famous stars in “Thousands Cheer”.  It is an American film and was chiefly about the American Army.  The Colonel’s daughter entertained the troops and fell in love with a private.  It was quite a good show.

Kit is on day duty at last, for which she is well and truly thankful, though the Sister is on holiday and Kit is having to do her duties which she does not like.  She never gets off duty before 9 p/m unless it is her evening off.  Ah me! The trials and tribulations of the Nursing profession.

I had a letter from Vera this morning but there was no fresh news since I came back last Thursday. 

Here we are in the fifth month once again.  As each new month starts I wonder if there will be any fresh developments in this war and think as each month slips away – “well, that is another month nearer to seeing Stan again, the man I love.”  Have I not told you that I am in love with somebody of that name?  I am sorry if I have not mentioned it before because he is continually in my thoughts and my dreams.  I love him more than I ever thought it possible to love anybody and am just longing for his return.  Yes, Darling, I miss you more and more each day and once you do return I am sure that I will never let you go so far away without me again.

‘Bye Precious, Grace  xxxxx
