Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1941

Griff writes to Ida stating that he will try his best to meet her outside the Tatler cinema on Tuesday now that he knows she is in Manchester.
He assures her he will always find time to read her letters so to please keep writing them, "you wouldn't deprive a man of about his only pleasure in life at this too busy time!"
He admits to loving the hot cups of tea at the Stockport branch of the travel agents and that it is "pure cupboard love." He doesn't appreciate her calling him up on the quantity of tea he drinks though.
He knows "nothing about the games of the big bad baronet you mention, so it is as well for me to remain in ignorance, and go on regarding him as a bit of a card [cad? lard?] in the world of music but subject to occasional bouts of absence - or ill health!" Yeah I have no idea what he's talking about here.
