Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1941

Seeing Ida and getting some fresh air has sent Griff to a peaceful sleep almost as soon as he got home.
He'd rung her during the day at work and was gutted to learn to that she wasn't in. It is only knowing that calling constantly to hear her voice is impossible, that stops him trying.
All's well except for the bomb that fell on Piccadilly Station's railway bridge, closing a platform. "It would have made a real mess of the transport had it exploded." You don't say. "Apparently there was a neat hole in the bridge and nothing more."
