Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1937

Ida had ignored Griff's express wishes and gone out in the gale. But as it was to go and see him, he was quite pleased, and when she went home it sounds like he escorted her and then "I gave the weather a good cussing at the top of Fog Lane at 8:55 or so, evidently without good result."
He discusses buying tickets and choosing seats for a concert or play.
He enjoys his radio and fiddling with them, especially as "most sets nowadays have gadgets for keeping down the squeaks."
He reckons the "pointer of our [weather] glass will be embedded in our stair carpet if there's much more [wet weather]."
