Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1941

More pre-wedding anxiety from Geoffrey Griffiths to Ida Carroll and seemingly from Ida as well - she has a lot of work suddenly to do and he suggests that the wedding be postponed until they don't have to worry so much. "Are first impulses always the right ones?"
"All I desire if your happiness" so he wants her "to be sure on every point."
He makes a gorgeous reference to poets Robert Browning and Elizabeth Barrett, who had a legendary romance in letters and life (complete with disapproving father on her part).
