Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1939

Griff writes to Ida after receiving "a well deserved lecture" in the post from her, "my word with what keenness do you observe the deficiencies of Man."
There is a Miss Price from Wilmslow working at the travel agents over the summer who despite her wealth, "appears to enjoy her spell of being the tourist agent." Although it does mean that they need to be on their best behaviour in the shop.
He admits that he doesn't mind "working over time at No.44 quite cheerfully when I know it is to be necessary and of my own choice. Tell me to do it and I become sulky." He says that "I don't expect direct thanks for any extra work that I perform but I do appreciate mild consideration."
