Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1939

Griff writes to Ida hoping that she will let him know if he can be of use when she's walking home alone in the dark.
He tried to fob the bus fare a bit and "ride past Mauldeth Road but the guard gave me a hard stare and threw me off".
He hopes the travel agency will remain open after promising talks with a London railway company but knows that offices all over the city and closing.
He dreamt he met Ida in a strange town in the early morning like that would totally natural.
