Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1940

Geoffrey Griffiths writes to Ida Carroll, complaining of a late night for the wrong reasons. "Quiet Tuesdays are our right and proper due, and it was very and it was very bad taste on the part of Mr. H[itler]!"
He writes from his voluntary service with the Auxiliary Fire Service in Ashton which he sarcastically praises that "beds and blankets have arrived after a nine day duty, so we've all suffered alike. Justice."

He is thinking of taking Ida to see the new film Dr. Cyclops, "I am not sure whether he is a nasty Dr. Cyclops or a nice one." Spoiler: he nasty.

They're going to see a Schubert concert and "you will be pleased to know that I am bringing the full score to the concert (I have one) for an orgy of page turning - or am I?!!"
