Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1939

"It made me quite frightened to read that you nearly volunteered for service abroad; whatever we may think of English police since 1918, I well understand all people of honour wanting to do their bit, but if you do go I should feel an ache far different from that of the present time." Griff writes to Ida at the beginning of WW2.
He's been to Oldham with a party from the travel agency to see a film, Elephants Never Forget, and while he got home OK, "Oldham was not so good in the blackout."
He discusses some concert arrangements.
