Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1941

Griff writes that he misses Ida and that that's not to worry about him too much as he got home "before the second nasty siren!". There's a chap who's neighbours' house has been bombed but he managed to keep his windows intact, "he leaves them open, the cunning fellow".
His father's seen soldiers with bayonets and she's not to worry if he's not quite home "when things are popping".
He's playing cards and the gas leak at the office seems to be fixed.
