Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1939

There's lots of logistics for travel around Manchester in this letter from Griff to Ida, and then finished with a tragi-comic anecdote about a violinist: "the regrettable accident to Mrs Rigby - I think that is the name, a violinist in the Women's Orchestra - the one who gives a party for dogs on the day of her dog's birthday complete with, well, serviettes, can't call them table or finger napkins. It is stated that her habit of kissing the little creature has induced it ungratefully to bit her nose."
