Private J. D. Caves: The Long Journey Home

9 August 1943 Campo 57, Italy

My Darling Jean,

Received a surface mail letter from you containing a photo of you in uniform. Thanks - I like it in a way but somehow it does not seem entirely you - but of course two or three years at our age change one a lot. However I guess the essential that we loved in each other still is there and our love will be a mature and finer thing as a base on which our married happiness will rest. Glad you are all well and hope you are all not becoming militarised. Fancy coming home to marry an army.
