A 20/20 Legacy: the centenary of the Northern School of Music

Artefact

Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1939

Geoffrey Griffiths remarks on the crank household, "Father came home with a cold, Mother was annoyed because of his cold, and Auntie had fallen out with the weather."
He's enjoying Gladys Mitchell's book "The Devil on Susan Hill" but it's influencing his grammar.
The Burch Choir seemed to have welcomed some new sopranos but "young Newhouse made a quick start and was last seen disappearing into the blackout towards Anson Estate with two of them." Young Newhouse is in a bit of trouble now it seems, "if we have no exact information we invent some. We should make very good Ministers of Propaganda!"
