Written in pencil on lined notebook paper and carefully folded for mailing, this letter is one of many preserved in a wartime correspondence collection associated with the Moon and Sammiet families. Its intimate, unguarded tone—references to Sunday church, longing glances, and a plea for a photograph—typifies the thousands of letters exchanged between servicemen and their sweethearts during the Second World War, when handwritten mail was often the only lifeline connecting loved ones separated by war.
