25 Jul 1943, W J Carrie's wartime diary

Submitted by kathrynsa on Thu, 10/03/2019 - 08:51

Elma Kelly spoke to me on Friday and she said that when she was cleaning out a handbag of hers she "found" inside a fountain pen with a gold band round it and my name on it. Do you remember it? She must have "scrounged" it when she was in 152.  I almost wish she had looted some more things!  I wakened very early this morning - my "lodger" woke me up 6am - 9p.m. with you on Saturday night. (Fisher in hospital, so de Martin from upstairs slept here).  I smoked a cigarette and lay thinking of you - I am sure you were thinking of me too.  Soon I hope we'll really think and do together. I'm becoming more and more sure that we'll be out of here in a few months.  Then I'll have to get home to recuperate and then back to H.K. to clean up the mess.  It won't take long once we get really started.         Goodnight Loved One.   Billie.
