Private J. D. Caves: The Long Journey Home
19 June 1945 Glasgow, Scotland
My Own Darling Jean,
I've always believed in you Dear and had faith in you but when I had lost faith in the world, myself and almost everything, it was hard to really believe that I could depend on holding you my dear one. Sometimes I could hardly believe I had ever had any existence other than that behind barbed wire let alone having the sweetest, kindest girl ever waiting back home for me. You are right we won't make plans yet just let actual facts wait till we have been together and do things and talk together. Lovely words, you and I, together.
