Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1932

Griff wishes Ida happy birthday. I think this is early on in their meeting, possibly the early 1930s.
He hopes in her next birthday it "will be in time of peace - in the world, that is, for I am sure you are most peaceable at all times. Ten years ago I used to think the early thirties something very far distant, hardly to be thought about, and here they are quite tip top though there are blemishes in the world generally; man-made as usual." Could he mean the early forties? We may never know.
