Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1938

This seems like an earlier letter, as Griff signs himself Geoffrey when writing to Ida.
He's on a bit of a high from seeing her so much this past week. "And every time you are different yet 'not different' [...] it is the same delicious surprise." He's still got two more meetings to go before the week is over and he's very excited.
He assures her that he likes her just the way she is and jokes that she would need to bring a passport with her for ID if she ever turned up with makeup and earrings. "I am glad you don't use those so-called accessories to beauty."
He's had Berlioz on the radio while playing cards with his parents and now is his true "pleasure of the evening", writing a letter to her.
