97 Harlaxton Road,
Grantham, Lincolnshire,
England. April 28th 44.
My darling. Hello again, and all my love. I hope you are well, contented and receiving mail regularly. I had three postcards from you this week – It is so good to hear from you. You had not heard from me at the time of writing, I do hope dear that plenty of letters are reaching you now, and shall be pleased when the air mail service is once again resumed. David and I are perfectly okay, he is really lovely, and now weighs 10lbs. 6ozs. Dorothy and I are trying to cultivate a wave in his hair, but he refuses to cooperate. I heard from Frank again this week, he sent three photographs of you as a child, and it is easy to see the strong likeness to David at that age. I am having David photographed next week, so will send it along as soon as I can. I went up to Thorneydene a few days ago, and walked both ways, a good effort I thought. I had an enjoyable time. I took David along to see the Lee's and Mrs Kenny, they made a terrific fuss. I also saw Tommy Grey who asked all manner of questions about the baby and also wished to be remembered to you. He calls me Mrs. I cant say that I altogether approve. Auntie Isabel gave David 10/- which I shall put into savings for him, he has been very lucky. Alice has bought him a very nice white woollen pram set. Mrs F. has gone to stay at Leamington Spa for a few days. Miss Ellis has gone with her and they are staying with a cousin of hers. We havent had any news
[page break]
of Dick yet. Sid Wright is expecting to commence training as a [underlined] flight engineer [/underlined]. I saw Jackson a few days ago, her baby is very hefty. Alice came down the day before yesterday to go for a walk. I didn't enjoy it much, she insisted on pushing David's pram, and her navigation isnt very good. I was in pain most of the time, I thought any moment now David, pram and all, would pile into the nearest ditch. I owe Frank a letter – one of your workmen has been killed in a crash – He was undergoing training as flight engineer His name was Sidney Chappell maybe you knew him. I havent been to the pictures this week there was nothing very exciting being shown. I shall definately [sic] go next week – there is a real good 'weepy' 'Jane Eyre'. I hope your red cross parcels reach you safely. I send the next one in June. Tell me of anything you particularly require
[page break]
dear. I want to do everything I can for you, and unfortunately I have little opportunity. Write as much as you possibly can, and tell me all about yourself. We are always talking and thinking of you darling. I know your thought’s must be with us too. Anyway my love, do be as contented as possible, it wont be so very long before you come home again. I went for a walk with Betty Scothern a few days ago, we discussed our baby's at great length, and had a real good gossip I thoroughly enjoyed it. I am meeting her again next week. I had tea at Mrs Christopher's during the week, she is a grand person. I like her a lot. She celebrated her 25th wedding anniversary (silver wedding) yesterday. I had a letter from Mrs M'Kinna a few days ago, and she sent two bibs for David which I thought was sweet of her. She has received confirmation of her husband's death, but no particulars, I feel so sorry for her. I think she must be a grand person judging from her letters. I have written asking Lois to come over, so hope to be seeing her soon. She is working, but I dont know what she is doing. I have received payments for March from the RAF. I hope to have some letters from you before long. I am always thinking of you my darling. I went to have a look at a sewing machine which was advertised in the Journal, but turned it down as the people were asking for far more money than it was worth. The weather is lovely and the country side looks beautiful. We take walks towards Harlaxton and it is very pleasant. Derek John takes a keen interest in picking daisies, although he is not exactly expert, and more often than not gathers a handful of heads. David is asleep in the garden – he really is a very contented babe. Naturally he has a howl now and again, and if he chooses 3-0 A.M. in the morning, is he popular!? Derek John has just gone to bed after kisses all round. Shirley is here for the evening. I have insured David for drawing out when he is fifteen – the man explained the whole affair, but I am not very wise about it – I never am. Chalky's girl wrote and sent me several views of Enfield and Waltham Cross – she is
[page break]
a nice kid. I like them both very much, and must say they have been very kind to me. I hope the air mail service will soon be resumed darling. I am always wondering if my letters are reaching you darling, and too if you know of David Ian's arrival. Please never worry about me will you. I long to have you with me more than anything in the world, but patience has has [sic] been given me, and there are so many thousands of husband’s and wives parted that I feel I cannot complain. We are fortunate too that you suffered no injuries, when just anything might have happened. Derrick and Margaret have bought themselves a tandem much to our amusement and surprise. I doubt if we shall be honoured with a visit. I guess they look very funny on it as she is twice as fat as he is. Phil and Fred came last week – she is still queer, one of these days I think she will go completely haywire. I feel really sorry for Fred I bet she leads him a dance. Joan Greetham came up a few days ago, and stayed until late evening. She makes a lot of David – actually I think she is really envious. She and Jack have been married for 3 1/2 years, and in all that time have spent about a month together. She hears very regularly from him, and he has sent her some excellent photographs. He isnt camera shy like my husband. Do try and get yourself on a picture darling.
I had a letter from Effie yesterday. Ruth's husband is joining the navy, and Ruth is giving up her home to go and live with her mother. She has sent a parcel for David – but I havent received it yet. I have written to her, and shall send photographs when I get them, she asked me to say hello to you from the family. We are having another savings week from May 6th to 13th. I shall get David two certificates. I am going to a red cross next of kin meeting on May 5th. I expect I shall find it interesting. There is to be a rise in the allowance paid to service men's wives with children. As far as I can ascertain I shall get an increase of 10/6 a week. I had a look at the things in the sale of Sheriff's furniture etc. but did not see anything
[page break]
we particularly required. The books were very musty and ancient, and I left the fishing tackle alone as I know so little about it. Dorothy and Shirley have been to a few dances lately, and are going again tomorrow night. The padre keeps Dorothy informed of Andy's whereabouts. Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby often feature in the same radio show – Sinatra is okay but I much prefer Bing. I have done quite a lot of sewing lately, somehow I cant give my mind to reading – Have just had a rest, Ive developed writers cramp, and also trying to think up more news. Mum, Dorothy, and Shirley send you heaps of love and hope to be seeing you soon. Gosh! shant we have a lot to talk about, what a great day it will be. Please remember me to Robbie if he is still with you. I keep wondering if your commission means a change of camp. Are you doing any kind of studying? Will you join the theatrical society? Describe your activities as much as you possibly can dear. When I get to the questioning stage it means that news is very scarce, so my love I'll say goodnight and God bless you.
Keep smiling for me.
Ever your devoted wife
Joan

My dearest Walter. I should have written yesterday, but have had rotten cold and went to bed soon after tea last night. I hope you are keeping well darling - it will be a good thing when the winter is through. Derrick came for the weekend - he is looking very fit, and if you didnt know of his complaint it would be impossible to tell. Little David is just fine - he is a lovely boy, he has an enormous appetite and kicks up a dickens of a row if I’m eating and he isn’t! I saw 'Adam had four sons' on Friday and liked it very much. I may go this week to see a British film which has made big news, ‘Love Story’ with Margaret Lockwood and Stewart Grainger I have finished a pullover for David, and have done the back of another. I am reading another book, by Ellery Queen called ‘Dragons Tooth’. I have considered giving up the book club, as the standard of the books is slipping. I saw Mrs Twilley on Saturday, they havent heard anything yet. I do feel sorry for her. I hope you have got David’s photographs, who do you think he is like? The person on the stocking stall outside the shop is going to have a baby - it seems very fashionable doesnt it? David is grand now, and very interested in things. He can say a good number of words, isnt very clever at drinking from a cup, sleeps well, eats well and looks the picture of health. I shall have him immunised against diptheria before long. I think they have to be a year old. Derrick makes a terrific fuss of

Thursday.
January 11/45.
My beloved husband. Ive just brought David home from his very first party. His little girl friend Jennifer was a year old today, I have known her mother some time, and we chummed up at the baby clinic. There were three babies at the party, Jennifer, David, and another little girl names Anne, so you can imagine our boy came in for a lot of attention! Cant say he appreciated it much though, and I honestly think he was fed up with women by the time the party ended. Jennifer let him play with her golliwog & then decided she wanted it back, and of course Master David took a very dim view of such typically female behaviour, I had quite a job calming him down! We have had a lot of snow but the weather is not nearly so cold. We are hoping to have Derrick for the weekend, I particularly am looking forward to seeing him. David has six teeth, he does eat well and looks the picture of health. I finished off a pullover for him last night, it looks wizard. It is too big yet so I am hoping you will see him in it. Mum and Dorothy have gone to the cinema to see ‘Adan had four sons’ – I am writing this before listening in to Tommy Handley in ‘Itma’ I had a letter from Aunt Ida yesterday telling me she is having a toy made for David, isnt it kind of her? I am reading another book by Ellery Queen – he is good. I hope you have received the photographs I posted. Can you see a likeness to either of us in David?

Hello darling - I’m actually answering a letter, as I received a long awaited one today after a period of practically three months without. I am looking forward to hearing again, as you mentioned you were moving once more. When I know where you are I have some photographs to send of David. He has two bottom teeth and has more coming through and consequently is rather fretful. I have bought him some white woollen helmets, and he certainly does look good in them – he has such a cute little face. I had a letter from Brigg yesterday, Mrs Layne has been talking to a girl whose boy friend has seen and conversed with you. I bought David a high chair yesterday. Ben Twilley called again to see me, he goes back tomorrow. I havent been out today, I’ve had such a lot to do. I feel really tired as I was awake practically all night with David. I rang the shop this morning to let them know I had heard from you. Frank has gone back to Brigg after a lengthy stay at Mablethorpe. I do hope you get your parcels okay - I have sent three in all, but of course am unable to continue, lets hope you wont be there long enough to need them. I was awfully glad to know you have not lost weight. I do so wonder about you dear – you are never out of my thought’s [sic]. There is quite a possibility we shall be seeing Mick Moore – he is near Auntie Emmie’s home. Its just about a year since he was here. We had a sprinkling of snow yesterday, which fortunately soon disappeared. Shirley has gone to London to see a friend of hers married off to an American. Are you with Robbie now? I heard from Molly yesterday, there was
