My Own Darling,

I have not much time today but thought that I would like to write you a few lines in the spare ten minutes I have.   You see  I have only junior nurses on duty with me so I am not supposed to leave the ward for long and when I do leave I am “on call”.  As I have a case for the Theatre in a short while I will have to dash back and get the patient ready.

However, Darling, I just had to make time to tell you that I still love you.

I have not had a letter from you yet this week but one may turn up tomorrow.  Yesterday I was off duty at 5 p/m so decided to go to the pictures I saw “The Girl He Left Behind”.  It was quite a good show.

5-5-44

Two letters arrived from you this morning, Dear.  They were both air letters and written on April 25^th and 28^th.

Your description of your night spent at the Castle was very vivid.  As I read it I almost felt that I was there with you.  It sounds a beautiful place.  How I wish that I really could have been with you.  Who knows – one day the opportunity may present itself when we can visit that place together and stand arm in arm and view the same you have described to me.  Even if we can never visit such places Darling, just to have you by my side again is all I ask.  It is all I long for night and day.  What a wonderful day it will be – when you come home.  It will be one more day to make an anniversary day, won’t it?

Talking – or at least writing about anniversaries reminds me that to-morrow is the sixth.  Two years and three months!  At least Darling we have been given plenty of time for getting to know each other before entering that happy state of “holy matrimony”!!  Though I think that we knew each other as well after the first few months as we do now.

Yes, I too envied Jean when I knew she was getting married.  You asked if Jean was continuing with Nursing until after the war.  As far as I know – she is, unless of course a third member should turn up!

As space is limited I will have to say Au-revoir, Precious. 

All my love, my Darling, always yours, Grace   xxxxxxxxxx
