Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1938

"I wonder if we are going to have any real old fashioned summer-like weather." The Mancunian optimism for weather wishes.
Griff is impressed with his apples in his garden, and assures Ida she must be doing well at the Stockport Grammar School. He admires her as a Basso player and updates her on tabloid news and cricket.
He's read two Mancunian authors, Walter Greenwood (which he gives a scathing review) and Neville Cardus (which "is a beauty").
He is very busy at work but wants to plan to meet.
