Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1941

Griff writes to Ida, "It is a great relief to know you aren't going to London; the place is surrounded by air fields for, for one thing, and the chance of a stray 'onion' must be considerable, not to mention possible attempts on railway stations." Ida seems wide to avoid London in WW2 in that case.
He will accompany her for a walk later on Saturday after work and watching a football match.
"Tonight, last night I just dodged home in time to avoid the old hooters," not sure what they are buy good for him. "At this jolly rate we shall have to visit shows we want to see on wet Saturdays."
Last night he played cards with his family and "this morning we all look petrified."
He signs off, "I love you so and you are beautiful."
