Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1935

Griff wishes Ida good luck in her role for a wedding she's attending, probably a bridesmaid.
He's listened to Verdi's Otello on the radio. He compliments her, I think? He says "how very nice it is to look at you. Without intending any offence whatever to the feminine sex. I sometimes think what a pity it is that so many women who are "in business" fail rather to make the best of themselves. A fault, if it be a fault, that you avoid with considerable ease." Oooookay.
