Artefact

Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1938

Griff sympathises with Ida's "distended ribs", having once damaged ligaments in his foot getting off a bus.
He admits he doesn't care for boxing, or wrestling or speedway racing.
He's "put some friends on a wrong train and am feeling very sore about it, discovered it today. Very nerve shaking." He admits he's "feeling very small about my business escapades, I nevertheless bow, as you instruct me to do." Finished with what I assume is a bowing stick figure, or some sort of horrible Goya dream, who knows.
