Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1941

Griff updates Ida on her afternoon. They went for a walk and even though he was "trying to save your shoes for the morrow, and you find an entirely new field path."
He's had a couple of more pleasant dreams, "not a sign of a Policeman anywhere, nor Air Warden, L(and) D(efence) V(olunteer) and the rest; just you and me in fact, so quite perfect."
Apparently due to war risks, "Eastern England and most of the South is barred to holiday-makers, so you may guess that Blackpool and North Wales are enjoying themselves."
He relays that a "wake" in Lancashire refers to a "high holiday" and not an Irish funeral euphemism as he thought.
