Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1939

It is again New Year's Day 1939. This time, Griff writes to Ida describing his typewriter technique, the good old fashioned hunt-and-peck of one finger per hand, expecting those words he uses a lot, the speed of which "would take prizes in competition."
He describes in detail the ticket-issuing rigmarole at the travel office when the dates change.
He enjoyed the music on the radio, has been reading a play and relates the ranking of productions for 1938 as well as the astrologer Naylor's predictions and advice for the week.
He's reading Basil Dalton's Auction For Beginners and unsurprisingly, it won't help him much with his Rummy game.
