Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1938

Griff wonders what Ida's journey is like so far, she left so early, to the Welsh seaside.
He updates her about his new work patterns and hopes to visit Ben (no idea who that is) with her next week.
"You are so sweet I can't possibly consider you want any added qualities." Very cute Griff, nicely done.
He's been thinking of the friends he used to have. Many did not enjoy music and weren't much for reading and he has now been "left with a mere handful of the best". Except for one in the group who turned out to be a "real bad hat." Originally he wrote "real bat hat" which sounds like it should be avoided with equal fervour.
