From Bill at 29 Hannover BMH to Hella at Bristol Hill Hospital, Berlin. Bill states that the papers for Hella to travel have been sent through official mail to Major Baggs along with a letter asking him to help her. He reminds her that the papers belong to her alone and nobody else and tells her to get Major Baggs to sign the papers saying that she has priority.

He finishes the letter by thanking her for her last letter and asking her to write again soon, also saying how much he loves her. With envelope.

From Bill in Wheatley. Bill is still looking for a letter from Hella. He finds it strange to be working in a lab when she is not working there too. He is waiting for the opportunity to go to London to sort out the forms and to pay the twelve and a half pounds for her to come to England. He thinks there may be a chance she could get work in the lab. The nearest town is Oxford but he does not know it well, having only been there twice so far. He sends her his love and asks her to write soon. With envelope.

From Bill in Wheatley. Hetells Hella how much he is in love with her and is worried that she is not writing. He refers to honeymoon plans; since arriving in England he has managed to save a bit. He is also still due 28 days’ leave for signing on in 1947. There is to be an inspection in the lab that day. He asks her if she managed to sell the binoculars. He asks what she is going to do with the camera and suggests a good idea would be to sell it and help Hella’s mother with the money. He is going to give this letter to Dom in case Jimmy is putting them in his pocket and forgetting about them. With envelope.

From Bill in Wheatley. Bill is delighted to have received a letter from Hella and promises to make up for things when she comes over.

He goes on to tell her to sell the camera to raise the money for her fare. He asks her to write and let him know the exact date that she will be arriving in London, as he will be there to meet her. He ends the letter by telling her how much he loves her and asks her to write soon. With envelope.

From Bill in Wheatley. Bill is very happy to have got Hella’s letter and sorry that she is sad and fed up. He is enclosing a letter to Dom (now not present) asking if he would be willing to exchange German Marks for English postal orders. He wants her to come over soon and writes she has to get used to him doing things for her. He asks her to come over after her next pay day and writes that it should not matter how much money she has when she is in England. He asks her not to magnify the difficulties she mentions in her letter. He asks if it would be easier if he sent her the English money and she could exchange it. With envelope.

From Bill in Wheatley. Bill has not heard whether Hella got the last three postal orders but is sending £4 more. Dom wrote to Bill to say you could get 15DM for £1 and as Hella said she could get 13 DM, Bill asks her to ensure she is not getting robbed. The pathologist is leaving the army for good tomorrow. Bill will be in sole charge of the laboratory for the next two weeks until the next pathologist arrives on 12 June. With envelope.

From Bill in Wheatley. Bill apologises for not having written for so long but things have been hard in the lab and until he left to see his father in London he did not feel able to write. He was left with just two assistants to run the laboratory which is bigger than the Hannover one. An extra man was sent by the ADP but after four days the Company Officer moved him to the wards. He was pleased with Hella’s last two letters and glad she got the postal orders. He stresses that if she needs any more, she should let him know. He refers to the fact that they are getting nearer the time that they will be together. Unfortunately, he has lost the place he had found for her to live but reassures her he has some other places in mind. He asks her to give him a definite date of her arrival. He is sorry to hear she has to work so hard but writes she will not have to work in a laboratory again if she does not want to. With envelope.

From Bill in Wheatley. Bill wishes Hella a happy birthday. A present has been sent with the letter which appears to be a book by Rilke, something for her to read whilst she is in hospital. His mother sends her regards and is sending something from London. He did not want to send a big present which she would have to bring over again and the present is late as it was difficult to get it. He appears to be back at school and is finding it hard work and is tired when they return to camp. Bill is pleased to report that the instructor thinks he is quite good. He thanks her for her last letter and is pleased her BSR is back to normal. He apologises for not sending greetings to Gisela before. It was simply an oversight. This will be the first of Hella’s birthdays they have not celebrated together since they met. He thanks her for loving him. He has brought his bicycle to Wheatley and hurt his knee while riding it. With envelope.

From Bill at CML, Nicosia. Bill writes that he loves Hella very much and wants them to try again. He has no news she will not have heard on the radio. The wireless is still broken and the army will not pay him £5 [for fixing it]. He has broken the large ashtray and hopes to get it mended after the Greek celebration of Easter. He hopes she is happy and promises if he gets another chance never to make her sad again. He asks her to write.
