Fix this textMy dearest daughter Grace
Fix this textI hope this letter will reach you about Christmas time and will find you
Fix this textwell and happy. The war in really over at last and the only thing now is
Fix this textfor old Daddy and Mummy to get back as soon as they can. It is sure
Fix this textto be some months before we leave, but that can not be helped, there
Fix this textare so many troops to go.
Fix this textI thought there would be great doings here when peace was declared
Fix this textbut it was the quietest night I can remember on such an occasion. The
Fix this textFrench people waved their flags and one English lady blew one whistle
Fix this textand I think that was all the excitement. Your mother and I played
Fix this textbridge with a young Colonel of the Flying Corps who had lost a leg
Fix this textflying and broken the other leg while trying to walk with a crutch so he
Fix this texthad been through some rough times. He has been a very brave flyer
Fix this textand has got a DSO and a bar to it which mean that we earned it twice,
Fix this textalso other decorations. Your mother is taking over the management of
Fix this texta big tea room for the troops and she will have her hands very full for
Fix this textawhile. It is winter her now, very dark and cold in the mornings and
Fix this textvery warm and nice at midday. I got a couple of curios for you and Mr
Fix this textHugh while I was away at the battle in Jordan Valley but will bring them
Fix this textwith us as the last lot we sent you went tot the bottom of the sea to my
Fix this textgreat grief. I hope to find you quite a big girl when I get back and will
Fix this texttake on to teach you and Mr Hugh some tennis and so on. I get very
Fix this textlittle tennis here now.
Fix this textI have nothing to send from me for Xmas so am enclosing an order on
Fix this textAunt Bessie to give you a little money to get a Xmas box for yourself
Fix this textand with much love and hope that we will soon meet again.
Fix this textYour affectionate father
