Item is a letter from C. Anthony Law to Jane Shaw (later Jane Shaw Law). The letter was censored, and several words have been cut out of the letter. A transcription reads: 30-9-41M.T.B. 48c/o G.P.O.London My dear Jane, Many moons have passed since I last wrote to you. We have been so busy, [CENSORED]. Looking for the big bad Wolfe. Most of our time at night is spent sitting on the [CENSORED], waiting for nice big fat ships to sink. I must sound very cruel, and hard-hearted. Yes I am a little. I don’t like [uncertain?] as much as I probably should.Jane I do miss you. When I go ashore, I wish you were with me. We would probably have a glorious time together. England has some lovely little bright spots were one can really enjoy themselves. London is very nice, marvellous old buildings. Lovely gay restaurants and [OBSCURED] music Halls, but then you get tired of [OBSUCRED] that. A life so full of drinking and amusement soon fade [sic] from one’s outlook. You seek something more, [something meaningful?], something sincere. England’s beautiful country is to me a glorious happy scene with its quaint small villages full of the past. The people are still live [sic] in those days. They haven’t changed. The village pub, with its character sitting around drinking. Telling the latest gossip. They still live a happy life. Its simple to some, but to others it couldn’t be traded for all the wealth in the world.But North America has something which is probably glorious, and can’t ever be compared with this old and historical world. North America has a new soul. A soul which lives in the present and future. With new ideas to improve mankind, and forget wars, and teach the people a peaceful out look [sic] on their neighbour. To help them. Not to fight them. I close this article which has taken so much place [?], and hope you don’t think I am to [sic] much of a bore, with my silly words.Jane, I love you, and get very lonesome from [sic, for] your company. We always enjoyed life together, and I was so happy and how I [wish?] back on those lovely peaceful days. We always get on so well with each other. You know something all the times we were together we never had a fight, I use to pull your by [?], but never meant it.Give your father and mother my very best.Heaps of love and KissesFrom your loving Tony. P.S. Thanks so much for all your kind little letters. 2011.010.1, Series 8, Subseries 1, File 1, Item 5

Item is a letter from C. Anthony Law to Jane Shaw (later Jane Shaw Law). A transcription of the letter reads: "M.G.B. 534th FlotillaG.P.O. London28-5-41 My dear Jane, I haven’t written to you for ages. I know should be ashamed of myself and I am. Many apologies, but I have been busy. In this first paragraph there seems to be to [sic] many “I’s”. In other words bad English, or bad prose.I certainly miss you Jane, and wish that this war would come to a [sic] end soon. That will be a marvellous happy day for us. We then can start to paint again together, with hopes to be married. That’s of course if you will have me. I know we would be very happy together, and we would do so many interesting things, such as travel in our yacht, not home at present [?] as she is to [sic] small. As you know I am a navigating officer, and have bought myself ages ago a lovely system. That instrument can see us around the world, any place we wish to go. After this war it will be hard for me to settle down right away in life [?], because I have got interested to see what the other parts of the world looks like. I hope you feel that way also Jane.Well my love this just a note to tell you how much I love you, and we [sic] could be together.Heaps of love and kisses from your loving sailor Tony" 2011.010.1, Series 8, Subseries 1, File 1, Item 1

Part of Jane Shaw Law and C. Anthony Shaw Law fonds
Item is a letter from C. Anthony Law to Jane Shaw (later Jane Shaw Law). The letter bears a sticker from a censor (examiner) on the envelope. A transcription reads: M.T.B. 4826-10-41c/o G.P.O.London My dear Janie, I can’t thank you enough for the Birthday present. It was darn good of you to think of me. That was a very nice little Birthday card you sent me as the little card says “Wish that I were there!” I certainly wish the same. It would be marvellous. It doesn’t seem quite fair! I’m being so far away from such a sweet little girl. However Janie I think it is very kind of you to spoil me like this, and again I say I can’t thank you enough for all your kindness.Now the days in this country are growing colder. At night at sea its [sic] rough, and wet. I came back to the base wet through. How I hate the cold winter days in this country. I can never get warm. All their buildings are colder inside than out. The only nice warm little spot is on board my Torpedo Boat in my Wardroom. I have a small heater going. The Wardroom is like a doll house, but very comfortable.Bunny is in this country. I just received a letter from him, saying lets [sic] get together and paint London Red, which would be a good idea, but I am always broke.Give my very best to your father and mother.Well little Janie I must close, I love you and wish you were here with me. Heaps of Love and a nice big Kiss and a lot of little kisses from your AffectionatelyTony 2011.010.1, Series 8, Subseries 1, File 1, Item 4

Item is a letter from C. Anthony Law to Jane Shaw (later Jane Shaw Law). A transcription reads: M.T.B. 48c/o G.P.OLondon25/1/42 My dear Jane, I haven’t written for ages—just been feeling in no mood. Christmas was a very sad day for me. My first Lieutenant Peter Armstrong died from a fatal fall from the Deck [Dock?]. He was a great friend of mine, and a great loss to me. Also other friends of mine are missing. Life just isn’t as cheerful as it was. However, Jane dear I must forget, because those things will often happen in war.Jane sweet you have been terribly good to me—I [love?] the glorious gay Christmas box from you it was sweet of you. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your [kindest?]. Also the Art magazines. The [uncertain words?] a very kind little [thought?]. I loved it. My love I might have hopes of coming to Canada sometime in June, but don’t count on it. As things are too grave to take leave as you wish, but I have hopes. Again Janie thanks for the lovely gay presents. I love everyone of them. Give my kindest regards to your mother and father. I do hope they are in the best of health. I love you Jane and wish I could be with you. Life would be much more happier. Heaps of love and Kisses from your skipper, Tony 2011.010.1, Series 8, Subseries 1, File 1, Item 6
