Feature Letter of January 28th, 2025
Ellis, John Walter
My Own Darling Wifey,
I felt I must sit down & write you a wee line this afternoon sweetheart I am down at Folkstone for a walk with Freddy & Norman Foreman & dropped into this club to write you my darling. I have been looking for a letter from you all this week but have not received one yet. Oh! my love do write poor lonely wee hubby I have watched every day for the mail man coming in & there's never a letter for me. I know darling I did not write you very much last week but then dearest I did not know but what you might be on the way here & this makes my fourth letter to you since last Sunday....Now dearest. I am on hut orderly again this week & right glad I am as its been so bitter cold out I pretty near froze to death last week. They kept us standing around in the cold till one gets nearly frozen. They just act as though they don't know what to do with us at all & my word you should see the grub we get last night for supper we got a small piece of cake & a bowl of tea not another thing else. How I would love to be up with you my darling for my birthday on the 11th just fancy I'm 22 gee I'm getting old eh! I'll soon be older that you eh? (ha ha!)
