Grania's husband was a stretcher-bearer and went to the front line, so Grania "consumed like so many women at this time with the tasks of waiting, clings to a few letters that manage to make it back to her, hoping guiltily that Jim, unlike so many others, will survive.'Thus, "a few letters "refer to letters written by Grania or by her husband?

Written by her Husband.
"... manage to make it back to her..." means that Jim replies to Grania's letters. The replied letters are referred to here.

"it" refers to the journey the letters take. They could have used the phrase " clings to the few letters that make their way back to her" or some other but this is a good example in this story.
