What was the news? 29th Jan., 1945 My dearest one, I’ve just heard the news that all the Army men who were held POW are to 1________ . Because of the shipping situation we may not commence to go before 2________ , but could probably count on being in England 3________ . It may be sooner. It has made me very warm inside. It is terrific, wonderful, shattering. I do not know how long leave I shall get. I could get as little as 14 days and I may get as much as 4________ . I’m wondering how I shall tell you I’m in England. Probably it’s still quicker to 5________ . And I hope to send you one announcing that I am on the same island. I will send another when I’m actually soon to get on 6________ and you can ring Lee Green 0509 when you think 7________ there. It’s a pity that 8________ will not be kind to us out of doors. But it will be nice 9________ in the pictures no matter what may be on the screen. It will be grand to know we have each other’s 10________ . Won’t it be wonderful to be together — really together in the flesh, not just to know that a letter is all we can send. I love you, Chris
