Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1941

"Your sweet letter was as warm as toast this morning" Griff tells Ida. It's currently very close to his heart, in his waistcoat pocket, along with other letters of hers, his ID card and his certificate of registration for HM Forces. He's been advised to carry these with him wherever he goes just in case he gets asked about them.
"Last Friday morning I remember waking up thinking it was Saturday which was no consolation when the awful truth had penetrated." He's even more impatient for Saturday now, when he will see her.
Feeling not quite himself, "I do hope for an upheaval of some kind when this war is over." He's not feeling productive at work even though he selfishly gets to see her more now. He wanted to be part of the RAF but will feel better in time.
He's making quite a dent in Ashton library's stock, with how the trains are acting lately. The library is "a good library of the old fashioned type."
