Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1941

Griff writes to Ida apologises for keeping her out so late but he "so enjoyed every minute (and there was two hundred and seventy of them!) and find all partings most agonising."
He's had only a few hours sleep but would still like to meet her for a star-gazing walk. He'd like to borrow an astronomy book from the library to do a proper tour of the stars.
He details the journey on buses home, absolutely packed and wonders if he "could be allowed to go home another way, so as to make more room for those who may have to go longer distances."
He walks her through modern radio sets.
