Edinburgh                                                                                     (145)

5.7.44

My Own Darling,

As the weather is not too good to-day we decided to stay in for the afternoon.

We (Kit and myself) were rather late getting up yesterday so we did not go out until the afternoon.  We thought that we would do a round of the shops but we did not even cover the length of the shops in Princess Street.  Princess Street is certainly a length, is it not?

In the evening we went to the pictures and saw Irene Manning, Dennis Morgan and Bruce Cabot in a modernised version of “The Desert Song”.  It was quite a good show and I like the music, don’t you?

We have not been to the top of Arthur’s Seat yet but Nan says that she is going to see that we get there before we go back.

I am sure that we will be terribly fat when we leave here.  Nan is an excellent cook.  This morning we made pigs of ourselves with freshly made hot doughnuts.  They were delicious.

After that we thought we had better walk them down and make room for our dinner so we went into the city and booked seats at the theatre for next Tuesday to see “Is Your Honeymoon Really Necessary”.  It is a comedy, I believe.

The news these days is very good isn’t it, especially from the Russian front.

The postman has just delivered a letter Darling, from you.  How I love receiving your letters – they are better for me than a Tonic or a long holiday.

Darling – you are very optimistic when you say that you think the war will be over by September.  How I hope that you are right but September is only two months away.  Just to think that the end of the war might be in sight.  I hardly dare to think about it – at times I feel that it will never come.  Like you Dear I will try and be optimistic and hope that a few more months will see the end of this war and shortly after that bring you home.  That is all I live for Darling.  You have as always all my love.  Ever your own, Grace  xxxxxxxx

2364226 Sergt. S. Bristow Headquarters                                                                       164. 15 L of C Signals Cen Med Forces 20 June 44 My Very Own Darling, Your letter written a week ago arrived to-day to shed a spot of brightness on to the proceedings.   However did you manage to write it with such opposition as that which must have been provided by three females all sitting on your bed and talking!!   I have written to you under difficulties, but none quite so bad as that! 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...

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...

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...
