Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1940

Griff asks Ida "have you been smiling at any strange men or policemen today? If so please send me details in brief about the times, places and circumstances, so that I may suffer the agonies of jealousy."
He's had a few shivers today, "pleasant and understandable when you are there to be gazed upon; but uncomfortable when I know jolly well the weather is to blame."
He wants to take her out at the weekend, discusses music tastes and cinema options.
He asks her that if she is to bite him, that "severe bites ought to be confined to the ear or the left hand or arm, as the right hand is needed for writing letters."
Well, that took quite a turn there.
