The story is about 2 men's relationships while in the 1930"s, when queer"s love is illegal.

My darling Morris,

 Just a note which I feel I must write or should I say type to you. I was very very disappointed to find out that you weren't coming to the club tonight. As ever since I phoned you on Monday and made arrangements. I just lived for tonight when I was to have seen you darling, as a matter of fact I stayed in bed all day yesterday, didn't get to eat and just thought of you and counting the hours until I should see you. 
 I only wish that I was going away with you, just you and I to eat, sleep and make love together. I LOVE YOU Morris, honestly I DO. It's two years almost since we first met, then I was crazy about you, but you just seemed to disappear and I never saw you for months and I tried to forget, and now since seeing you. It's all started again, and I just had to let you know how I felt.

Please don't think I'm foolish Morris, but I love you such a lot. So please, if you don't feel this way to me, promise that we shall always be the best of friends. Well Morris darling, until we meet I'm yours with all my love forever and always.

The letter was written by Cyril to his love Morris, at the time he was 22. The Caravan Club allowed gay people to date, dance and have relationships, which has raid by police later. Cyril was arrested at the club with the letter, that he was trying to hide the it under his seat. Cyril has been sentenced to hard labour work. 30 years later, the law in London had changed. 
I have him live longer to see that change.
