Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths, Irene Wilde
1945

Griff updates Ida on some home renovations he's undertaking, including swapping carpet for lino. There are problems being encountered however, including some sort of rot or water damage to some woodwork and a growth under the piano. "The two back casters of the piano had gone right through the wood and we had to lift it straight up to move it."
Rain interrupted the cricket, he panicked about the tickets he's arranged for Irene Wilde (and the NSM?), and had supper with her family. Neighbours admired the lino and he notes that "old lino is excellent for starting the fire." He's looking forward to cricket and chess and treats herself to a drawing of a "cat, not a beetle."
