Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1941

Griff writes to Ida, thanking her for seeing him. It was a good break in the slow days at Ashton's travel agency, and the book on modern European history he's reading which is "interesting but depressing". Sorry Griff, it only gets worse over the next few years.
However he's also ready four novels in this week. Atta boy.
He's needing to pull on his reserves of patience in customer service at Ashton. Customers coming with vague requests for train times after dinner/tea, "and for the life of me I don't know when they have their dinners and teas!" He blames "some sorry fault in our educational system" for their approach to travel agents.
He reassured her that the following week will be fine.
