My Very Own Darling,

Today is Sunday and my half-day so I thought that I would occupy the first part of it by writing to you.

I have just been re-reading your last two letters.  Nothing gives me greater pleasure Darling, than reading your letters.  I am afraid that I filled the greater part of my last letter to you with grouses so consequently did not answer your letters properly.

However, I promise you that there will not be one grouse in this letter.

So you are still managing to take your moonlight bathes!!  How I wish that I could join you.  No, Darling – I should not be shy swimming in the nude with you – or at least, I don’t think that I should (That is of course when you have taught me how to swim).  You see – I shall keep you to your promise! 

I often think about all the things we intend doing together after you come home though I do not think there is one place in the British Isles where we could moonlight bathe together, is there?  The people in this country are so narrow minded that we would be told we were indecent – to say the least.

When I was out at Selsden do you remember me telling you that I was helping a girl named Joyce make “undies” for her trousseau?  Well, she broke – or at least he broke off the engagement and Joyce is engaged for the third time, this time a Canadian Flying Officer.  Once again Joyce has asked me to help her with her sewing, so that is what I am about to do when I have finished your letter.  It makes me wonder if she will really get her man to the altar this time!

Just enough space left in which to say I love you my Darling and I think you are the grandest man on earth. 

Always you own Grace xxxxxx

2364226 Sergt. S. Bristow Headquarters 15 L of C Signals Cen. Med. Forces 23 Jul. 44                                                                             179. My Very Own Darling, It’s been sweltering today, and now even though it is evening & I am sitting on my bed with only a short pair of pants on (a fine sight, too, I might tell you!), I am sweating like anything. Another Sunday has come and gone, Darling, and we are another week closer to our meeting.   Tonight I am in a really optimistic frame of mind, for although one cannot judge what’s actually happening in Germany at the presen...

Sunday, 6 August, 1944 - Two Letters

G.H.N.                                                                                      161 6-8-44 My Precious Darling, First of all I must begin this “anniversary” letter by apologising for the dreadful smudge at the top of the page.   The trouble is that I am lying on my tummy – sunbathing – and trying to write.   A very awkward position you must admit. It is a beautiful day – the sun is blazing hot and it is too warm to do anything.   I decided to wash my hair and come out here to dry it, so that is the reason for me lying on my tummy – I am trying to dry the back of my hair...

G. H. N. Saturday 12 M.D.   My Darling, I expected a letter from you this morning but as one has not arrived I expect I shall receive one this afternoon. Now for a bit of good news.  I go on night duty tonight.  Yesterday, Kit went on night duty on Pay-Bed Wing and this morning Laughton was to go on but as she had only been on day duty for two months she went to Matron.  As a result of her interview with Matron I am going on.  I am so thrilled about it.  Not that I like night duty – I don’t – but the fact that I hope to get my nights off to correspond with your leave – just think – four weeks to-day and we shall be together again. I think that I might be going on Pay Bed Wing – I hope so. I went to the flicks yesterday to see “First of the Few”.  I have seen it before but Kit had not, so I decided to go with her as it is a good picture.   I am afraid that I have not much more time left as it is almost time to go back on du...
