Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths, Hilda Collens
1939

Griff wishes to meet up with Ida at the post office corner at Didsbury in the early evening, when "it ought not to be very dark and you should avoid walking off with the wrong man!" He hopes to find a cinema that will seat them, "though I hear continuous performances are nearly always the rule at present since the new restrictions." Continuous performances were when shorter films were played back-to-back with no interval. Griff suggests Denton's People's Hall but with fewer buses on the roads now it's a bit of a trek and the seats aren't that comfy anyway.
He hopes Ida can provide him with an excuse not to attend a staff supper with the travel agents in Oldham.
He wonders if Ida will take Miss Collens for a walk while the moon is still fairly bright, "she is a lonely soul and would enjoy it hugely."
