Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1941

Griff has been working in Ashton and has just found the Boots. He hopes they have a library. He spends most of his commutes reading, he tells Ida.
Re Ashton itself, "the picture houses seem to be the best buildings, but even those look faintly depressing," not worth wagging work for an afternoon in one he reckons.
He went to visit his local defence marshal and says they have plenty of water pumps for the Auxiliary Fire Service, even buying more and sharing the cost.
He praises her aversion to wearing "funny hats over your left eyebrow," as was the fashion.
