Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
Stockport Hippodrome
1940

Griff writes to Ida, "I hope my pet grand operas plus Herr Hitler won't prevent you seeing me on Saturday."
He details the rest of the film "It's A Date" which they went to see but she had to leave part way through.
He hopes she sleeps without "expecting tiresome disturbances by Herr Hitler's air fleet!" and hopes she enjoys the opera. He will go to see the opera at near the Stockport travel agents offices where he is working, at the Stockport Hippodrome.
