In this, the final episode of Fondly yours…, Marguerite is unaware that her last letter to Maude, which was to have been hand-delivered by Jackie, was never received. We find out why as we listen to Jackie’s mother Rose. Marguerite writes in her diary about meeting Bill at Miss Ely’s USO.

It is early in 1943, and the girls know that their last letters to each other have not reached their destinations due to mail censorship. They write hopefully now, counting on their letters arriving this time, due to a plan of Maude and her sailor sweetheart Jackie.

August 1939. Maude writes from London just weeks before the start of the war. Maude and her sister witness a practice flyby of England’s Royal Air Force and also a practice Blackout. In addition, they visit London’s Portrait Gallery and the British Museum with their mother before she returns to France on an assignment to the Louvre Museum in Paris. The girls do not know it, but their mother will be part of a secret mission to hide away the treasures of the Louvre in advance of the imminent war.
