Private J. D. Caves: The Long Journey Home

June 1946 Glasgow, Scotland

June 1946 Glasgow, Scotland

My Dear Mum & Dad,

At present I'm at Aunt Hannah's in Glasgow for the weekend. Since last I wrote I have been round a fair bit. I saw all our relations in Ireland. I've been disappointed in the shopping. Most things are sold in the coupon system and of course we have none and other stuff like leather or jewellery, photos and such like are 5 to 10 times pre-war prices. Almost impossible to buy presents but hope to be able to get some nice things if we stop at Panama on our way home. I have thoroughly enjoyed my leave so far, it was great being able to go over to Ireland and I was very pleased with all my relations. It has been quiet but home life has meant a lot.
