Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1941

Griff writes to Ida explaining that hearing from her and seeing her so regularly lately has boosted his mood so much. She's even been calling him at work which helps greatly, even when he has to pretend to be on a work call when a supervisor appears.
He details his planned journey to see her. He wishes that this new year "be a good new year for you and for all of us".
He urges her to take care on her ARP duties, "if any nasty bombs fall around, I am almost sure it isn't the full duty of a Warden to investigate them too closely," especially since "these delayed actions are doubly nasty."
