Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1951

Weather, transport and sport are the topics of discussion here. Apparently Geoffrey Griffiths is anticipating the coldest March of the century and hopes for better weather for "the match". He advises Ida Carroll, in some investigative detail, the best routes on the London Underground to take to Wembley Stadium. Football then? On a cold March day? Geoffrey Griffiths, we find out in other letters, is something of a "transport nerd" as Ida Carroll affectionally labels him.
