Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1940

A misty night caused subdued chaos on the buses through South Manchester, Griff relays to Ida.
He has played cards with his parents but prefers writing when they are in bed.
"I fear my only trouble is an occasional wave of self-pity, a detestable thing and about unrealised ambitions and so forth in the realm of business; not that ambitions are much use in the time of war" but "the war can't go on forever and it would take a while to starve us out - unless the pound sterling goes queer!"
I wonder what he would have made of Brexit.
