Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1941

Griff writes to Ida conspiring to see her, "my intention to visit the shelter is a serious one; if I choose occasionally to be wandering at large in that area, what more natural that I should seek shelter if there be a Warning?" Just so he could see her while she is on Air Raid Precaution Warden duties.
There is currently a warning sounding but as his mum and aunt say, "bombs aren't falling so there is no real raid."
He describes in detail a fabric and style of coat he dislikes.
