Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1938

Geoffrey Griffiths writes to Ida Carroll to tell that he has registered for the forces and that the process "is quite painless." He says that the registrar "became all excited about my kind of work [in the travel agency] and spent some time looking into very large volumes , without saying anything. I expect at least to finish in the transport section, with the rank and pay of an officer!!"

He has a long romantic sign off to Ida. "Whatever the state of Father's heart may be, I think mine *must* be alright, or I should go into a faint every time you said "good night" to me. I haven't *quite* lost consciousness yet, but there's no telling. Remember the hero in Ninotchka who slid quietly to the floor. I feel like that. You are so beautiful."
