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). A transcription of the letter reads: M.A./S.B. 534th FlotillaG.P.O London24-1-41 My dear Jane, I can’t thank you enough for the lovely photograph of my old ship. It was very kind of you to think of such a lovely present as it brings back glorious summer memories of the past. Also many thanks for the parcel of cigarettes and candy and other things. The old paint box has been hard at work lately. We have a small fleet, that is my Captain and myself. So I have been doing a lot of painting. Some of the things I have managed to do are not so hot, but could be better. It has been quite a lot of fun keeping house. I have also been experimenting with my [uncertain?], so far I am still alive from it. The old ship is up in Drydocks getting repainted, and won’t be finished until two months hence.Two more months and summer will be in the air. Spring will come to life, England with its quaint little farm landscape will be alive with colour, but it means that I will have an important job, and will be very busy. As things will happen this summer. I do hope you are behind Roosevelt, and the rest of the democracies, and not a party that still wants to remain neutral, as we all must help in this war so we can all enjoy our freedom when peace comes to this troubled world. The reason I ask you these questions, or more or less put [uncertain?] forward, as I have never heard you ever express your thought on the present situation.We have a terrible raid, or I should [sic] a real Blitz, which left very little of their planes standing. We had no water, electricity and Gas for cooking for quite a while. The navy played a marvellous part in helping to put the fires out. Also pulling fire [uncertain?] out.Well darling my letter comes [?] to an end wishing you all kinds of success for the new year. I always think [?] of you. And looking forward to the day that we will get together.Please remember me to your father and mother.Heaps of love and kisses.I remainYours affectionately, Tony 2011.010.1, Series 8, Subseries 1, File 1, Item 2
