My Very Own Darling,

Six days without a letter – things were beginning to get serious – but one turned up this morning to brighten up my Sunday!  Actually, your letter was written on the 16th and I was just in the middle of a juicy speech about what they ought to do with the APO for taking so long to deliver your precious letters, when I noticed that it wasn’t posted until the 19th!  Did you give it to someone to post for you, Dear?  If so tell them off from me for keeping it three days without posting it.

To-day’s been an extra special day as far as correspondence is concerned, for I got a letter from my Father – the third since 1939!  He seems to be a lot better & was just going out for his first walk since getting up.  He says he’s looking forward to seeing you in a couple of weeks time when you get your holidays.

Nothing very exciting has happened since I last wrote to you, apart from a bit of a stampede at the local cinema last night.  It was a pretty noisy war film & one of the local inhabitants got scared, ran out of seat knocking over several people in the process & the rest of the Ities followed him thinking the place was on fire or something!  We do have fun.

Your letter today was worth waiting for Darling.  It is simply thrilling to read how deep your love for me is and it makes me very proud to know that I have you to come back to, Dear.  I wish you would get it out of your sweet head, though my Darling, that I might think you silly for being sentimental about our love.  Can you show me anyone more sentimental than myself and anyway, our love for each other is too fine and deep a thing to be anything but serious, so Darling, if you feel sentimental, just put down your thoughts on paper.  As far as I am concerned nothing could be sweeter or more pleasing than that.

You ask, Angel, “Do you remember how we used to say “Goodnight”.  Can I ever forget the sheer extasy of those fleeting hours we used to spend in each other’s arms, intoxicated by all the little thrills which made our love-making so pleasant?  Of course I can’t Darling!  There’s never a night passes that I wonder how long it will be before we shall experience such pleasures again.  Oh, how I yearn for them!  But they will come again Precious & will seem all the better for our having had to wait.  Don’t you think so?  Oh I love you Darling, every little piece of you.  

Always yours, Stan   xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

G.H.N. 29-5-44                                                                                (132) My Very Own Darling, It is perfect “Whit Monday” weather.   It has been really hot all day.*   I have felt very glad that we are not busy as it has been too hot to do much work. At the moment I have only eight patients on the ward.   I can hardly believe it until I look around and see the empty beds. Of course there is still enough work to do.   We have all been busy making bandages and cutting up extra “stock” (cotton wool, etc.)   That sort of work however is far less s...

I am pleased to hear that at last you have got some soldiers to look after.   Now you have lots to do I suppose you have l...

12 February, 1942

 After meeting at the Nursing Association Dance on 6 February (see post 'Going to a Dance') Grace and Stan returned to their workplaces; Stan to Darlington and Grace to Nottingham.  As promised, Stan wrote to Grace, a letter which arrived on 11 February.  Unfortunately we don't have Stan's early letters because Grace didn't save them, so the first few letters are all Grace's side of the correspondence.    Note the time - Grace was working nights. Nurses Home, General Hospital, Nottingham     3.45 a.m.   Dear Stan, Thank you so much for your letter which I received yesterday.   You did manage the six pages after all, even though it was with the addition of a P.S.   I was so sorry to hear about your journey back.   I am afraid that if I had been in your place I would have felt really bad tempered when I reached my destination.   I did quite well, I was only a quarter of an hour late.   You know, I am not in t...
