Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1940

Geoffrey Griffiths writes to Ida Carroll about an opera on the radio, "it was Modern, and modern opera I can't stick. So the knob was given a firm turn to the left - off. In forty years time I may be stroking a long white beard and televising the same opera with relish."
He references a tension in people, "I hoped lots of people would be drawn together more because of the war but nerves probably act as a counter-balance."
He arranges visits to friends, including someone with a new radio (very exciting.)
