Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths, Hilda Collens
1947

Griff tells Ida that "Miss H[ilda] C[ollens] has not been to the school" as she's had a stomach bug but that he went around to see her when she telephoned, thinking they would go to David's wedding together. Not sure who David is but congrats!
He went around to visit her and "found her cheerful but admitting to a weakness in the legs, no doubt from being in bed most of the time."
Weather for David's wedding was beautiful but him and Hilda got to the church early. They "became mixed up in the tail-end of some ordinary office of the day, and you should have seen us. We didn't know whether to sit, stand, kneel, or throw ourselves prone upon the floor. However by watching others we managed to survive."
He's visited her father and had dinner with her family. Their housekeeper ordered him away to the cricket while she dealt with the pots.
