Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1940

After leaving Ida Carroll that night, Geoffrey Griffiths was "rushing home early all to no purpose; unless it be to provide more time to write to you, for here I am waiting for the sirens to sound."
He's practiced his chess playing with his father and would play Bridge with Ida, "when I can't just be alone with you, and just being alone with you is quite the nicest thing in the world."
He would like to take her to "Pride and Prejudice at the Old Didsbury for I heard you say you wanted to see it and I believe it's awfully good."
