Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1940

Griff describes to Ida his train journey to his holiday destination, Bourton-on-the-Water. "The Old New Inn is old in its beams and woodwork but new in bathroom and wash-bowl fittings." Thank God for that.
Meanwhile, "members of the RAF seem to be billeted around and all paying keen interest to the local girls and the local beer."
The hotel has "given me a nice large double room to myself, I wrote to them on the note paper of the firm, and it is astounding what that will do with hotels!" His job at a travel agents has its perks.
