Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1938

Griff shares his difficulty with pronouncing some names with a character in the book he's reading and feels verified in his struggles, he relates to Ida.
He's being sent on a "lightening (two day) tour of Western Holland and a bit of Belgian" by his bosses at the travel agents.
He's heard a bit of opera and was unimpressed by some symphonies he heard on the radio.
The howling wind prevented a walk and he instead spent the evening going over vocal exercises "and shall probably have a nightmare tonight surrounded by double vowels and awkward consonants."
He would like her opinion on the composer Lorenzo Pelosi.
