Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1940

A 10 letter page is humbled by being introduced as "inadequate". All plans to do with planning for Geoffrey's involvement in the war. HIs father doesn't want to stay in the house if Geoffrey gets called up - since Geoffrey's mother died, he doesn't want to be alone.
Geoffrey similarly thinks it's too soon after his mother's death to think of marriage, "I would not really be happy until a few weeks have rolled by, despite the risk of call-up, which has reduced for the moment, after all."
He talks of their plans to move in together, of getting their own place and of being together.
However, despite not being married, he has changed his will to give all of his estate to her, just in case the war takes him.
