Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1939

Griff writes to Ida that she never leaves him waiting, "all the best music hall turns and humorous journals have tried to teach me that woman is unpunctual, their unions would be annoyed with you; you must try it sometime as punishment for disobedience!"
He describes the walk he went on and relays his success at cards.
"The wat is a horrid nuisance. In September 1938 we avoid helping a fourth-rate nation that is surrounded by enemies and neutrals. A year later we plunge to the aid of a third-rate nation that is also surrounded by enemies and neutrals." He reckons that without peace negotiations soon, "it might be a long and grim affair." He wasn't wrong.
