Private J. D. Caves: The Long Journey Home

My Dear Denis,

Your letter was written on the 7th March and was about your birthday and other things and I read the last part calmly as you said and I promise to do that if you will do the same my dear. I might have changed by the time you come back and you might have met somebody whom you think is nicer and fancy. So dear if I do as you ask you will do the same too. But know dear I love you now and I have always done. Sometimes I wish that we had married but I think we were right when we did not marry. It will be something to look forward to and we can start off at scratch when all this upheaval is over. We would have been married ages now if there had not been a war but I daresay it is fate and all for the best I can well imagine the war lasting until Oct 1943 somehow but of course I would not mind it stopping before then but I can see little hope for that at present anyway. America is starting her naval battles now and has cleaned up a few of the Jap ships not so very far away from N.Z.
