Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1939

Griff writes to Ida while she's away at Stratford. He kindly dismisses her "little depreciations in regards to Tangents and things," thinking them both mostly sound.
He discusses her options for train travel and updates her on the Rummy score table. He hopes she is proud of him as when he was last playing Rummy with friends he did the dishes, "I mean, I live such a sheltered life at No.37 that I hardly know what a dish cloth looks like."
He updates her on his comings and goings, as well as friends, and sympathises with her cold and discusses remedies.
