Letter from Nancy Felicia (Howitt) Ward to Captain George Everett Ward, dated 24 August 1942. A one-page handwritten letter in blue ink on a blue Armed Forces Air Letter. The Letter reads: Capt. George E. Ward, 12th Field Regiment, Royal Canadian Artillery from Mrs Geo. E. Ward, 221 Woolwich St., Guelph, Ont. Aug. 24., Monday. Hello Darling- This morning Mum and I each had an airgraph from Dick - nearly went cross-eyed trying to read it but this was the first time we knew they could be sent to us. It was dated Aug 8th. I wrote yesterday as I have abso-positively no news for this one Darling. Last night I had the map out and tried to figure out where you might be stationed. I had myself around Bramber, Amberley, Worthing and Chichester!! Mum was talking to Dad at noon & he is coming home tomorrow. Have you seen anything of Angus Dear? If you do ask him to show you the snaps of the children he has - and he has quite a collection because Mum & Aim have sent quite a few over lately. I loved the movie "Captain of the Clouds" too - how would I like it if we went to the Chateau for a weekend? Adore it Darling and do some dancing at the Standish in Hall - Humm! It sounds more than great fun. Have you read or heard of the book I have just finished reading "The Long Alert"? I liked it and yet it annoyed me - there was a very vivid description of the Café de Paris!! How is your supply of cigaretes [sic] Sweetie? It is a dog's age since I have sent you some - you know. All my love, Kisses & hugs to you - forever and always George Darling - Nan |
