Dear Joe,
I wonder what you are doing now. I expect you finished your second tour before VE-day and are now on indefinite leave. I must apologise for not writing to you for so long, I hope you forgive me.
I was unable to get back on Bomber Command but I was posted from Stoney Cross up to Bramcote which is a Transport O.T.U. We were crewed up and did quite an extensive course,
[page break]
including astro & a lot of engine "gen", although the flying was only on Wimpeys. I met Bob Grant there, also doing the course but as he was at the satelite I didn't see much of him before he was posted. He told me that Johnny Riley is at Hoylake convalescing. I am glad he has got back safely.
I am now on Embarkation leave, which finishes on the 31st of this month when we have to report to Morecambe for kitting. I don't know officially where we are going but it looks like the far east, and I expect we'll
[page break]
be on close support out there.
I haven't got any gen about the where abouts of any of the boys but have heard that Edgehill is closed down. I have written to Red Hills & hope to hear from him before I leave. Have you any news of any of them?
Well, Joe I must say cheerio & I hope to hear how you are getting along soon.
Please give my kind regards to Scottie.
All the Best,
Dave.

Darling Johnnie,
I hope to draw £5 & send it off to you by the early post tomorrow in the hope that you may get it on Friday afternoon. I also intend to send you one local timetable, in which the relevant buses are 305, 335 and 353. Of these the [underlined] 305 [/underlined] comes right into the village, & it is best for you to look to the White Hart. (5d from Gerrards Cross) which is a pub at the top of the hill on the far side of the village. Getting out there, you should go back a little way to the White Hart itself & turn down to the left, Back Lane (theres a “gentlemen’s” on the corner!!) Follow this lane till the crossroads, which is
[page break]
Bottrells Lane, turn left, and your property is the 2nd house on the left.
The [underlined] 335 [/underlined] or [underlined] 353 [/underlined] both take you only to the [underlined] Pheasant.[/underlined] From there, turn left down into the village, first right at the Crown, up the hill past the Fox and Hounds (I’m not suggesting that you call in at all these). Fork left at the top where Bottrells Lane is signposted, carry on till you come to the aforementioned crossroads, & your property is still the 2nd on the left.
I feel this walk would be rather much for you, it takes 1/4 hour at least, & if you must come by bus it would be better to try to get a 305.
Better still, if you had time in London, would be to ring up for a car to meet you, either Mr Leverett

telephone Chalfont St Giles 1 (but not [underlined] this [/underlined] weekend as he is away on holiday) or else
If you are having a car, it would be nearer ([indecipherable word] cheaper) for you to come by train to Seer Green, instead of Gerrards Cross, but don’t go to Seer Green unless you are being met, as there’s only one bus an hour there (viz the 305 going the opposite way). If your train happened to connect, well and good.
Your telegram handed in 11.30 didn’t reach me till between 6-7 pm, so this gives you an idea of the length of notice required if you want to contact me.
I shouldn’t think it really likely that you’ll get home this weekend is it?
[page break]
[deleted] 4 [/deleted] [inserted] 3 [/inserted]
If there were a chance the weekend after, I could arrange to meet you in London and have taxis this end & do the thing in style.
But its certainly a gorgeous thought that you might come on leave at all. I’m afraid the journey might be rather grim, you simply [underlined] must [/underlined] have a seat, so tell people you’re a hospital case and must have one.
Can’t think of anything more now. It’s 11.30 pm so I must get to bed. I sent my letter today to Cosford. I do hope they forward it to you. did you have the kitbag finally sent off?
All my love darling
Ursula.

My darling Johnnie,
Your parcel of washing arrived this morning. Many thanks for the various items enclosed for me, much appreciated. The notepaper & envelopes will be most useful. Unfortunately the glass thing with handle, whatever it was, was broken, but the jamjar was intact. I see you couldn’t master those sweeties stuck in the bottom of the jar any better than I! I’ve settled them now by melting them out with hot water & making therewith a brew called

‘Dollies’ Wine’ which I have coloured red & handed over to Frances to use for entertaining her two small friends who are coming to tea this afternoon.
I enclose a letter from Frances which came thro’ the post this morning from the school. I gather she traced it, but its really quite good. Yesterday we went to a dress rehearsal of the dancing display, Frances looks rather nice as a Shetland pony, with real tail. I’m still hoping you may come to see it.

I’m hoping to phone you in about 10 minutes, if I can get thro’, to learn the latest gen about going to Loughboro!
All my love darling. I hope you’ll be able to cope with the form for extra coupons, we could use some!
A big kiss from Frances, and an even bigger one from me
Yours always
Ursula.

Wed. July 18
Dearest David
I cannot tell you how pleased & thrilled I was when I arrived home last night & Mrs Masters said she had a message for me, but it was a nice one, and when she told me I was so afraid that she had not got it right, & whether it was a bar to the D.S.O or D.F.C & then the miserable telephone went out of order like it always does at Brambridge & so I could not ring anyone up to tell them.
But I have got hold of tonights Echo & its in there alright, and now all I want to know how does one address a D.F.C. & DSO & Bar, are you really now so grand that I merely put D.S.O etc.? I have been going round looking superciliously at everyone all day
[page break]
& thinking to myself, none of you poor things in the road have got a son who is as grand as mine, the result being that I forgot to hoot going over the bridge here & nearly had [word deleted] a collision with a car coming in the opposite direction - . I have managed to control myself all day and have not told anyone, leaving them all to see it for themselves in the Echo
Papa is up in London & the telephone having recovered I have just rung him up to tell him. He was supposed to be staying at the Goring Hotel, but when he got there they said they had to board him out & sent him on to a place in the Cromwell Rd where he found he had to share a room with a stranger & “there was no lavatory accomadation [sic] so he fled to the Aunts, who as usual acted nobly and took him in, although Eric was already
[page break]
staying there . - He was duly suitably impressed & for once did not disown you & explain you were nothing to do with him, which is what he generally does if he thinks any of his family are distinguishing themselves at all.
I enquired about John Francis engagement & if it was official & ought I to write, her name is Warwick & she comes from Wickham where her father has a small business, do you think she is a relative of Rene's, she used to live at Wickham for years, they had a saddlers shop there ?
Will you thank Joyce very much for ringing me up to tell me about you, I was terribly sorry to miss her, I got caught on y way home by Mrs Heseltinne who took me in to have a drink & she
