Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1939

Geoffrey Griffiths writes to Ida Carroll whilst she's on holiday in Port Patrick. He updates her about his day, writes about the cricket match he went to, supporting Levenshulme against their "ancient foes" Tyldesley.
He details the process of arranging tickets for her journey - it's a pretty meticulous and involved affair, claiming "if you read that through seventeen times and sup heartily on bread, cheese and onions, I can guarantee a Horrible Nightmare."
He chats about concerts he's heard on the radio and reviews he's read in the newspaper.
He hopes Ida is relaxing on holiday, "you are probably eating and sitting around, becoming f- (oops, sorry) finely browned by the dazzling sun." Cheeky.
