Hello dearest fiancé,
May this message find you in good health, and in good spirits. The news of Hitler’s death has reached us. Germany must surely surrender any day now. And, hopefully, the whole wretched war will be over very soon. I can’t wait to see you again, darling. Remember that magical evening on Lake Louise? That’s why I chose this post card. Can’t wait to ‘Begin the Beguine’ again!
Please stay safe. We are so close now, Jack. So excited!
Love now and always,
Violet
