Letter
The Hallé, Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1940

Griff is grateful for Ida teaching him music when they first met. Her lessons "reading at the piano and at Burch did very much more for my Hallé Chorus ambition than anything that Tom Case could produce." Not sure who Case is.
Ida's got a cold and it's likely his fault, he is sorry for it. He would like to take her to the ballet when she's well.
He's writing a novel and has the first chapter sketched out. "Little Mr Winterberry wakens me morning (as usual!) and thinks of the business and personal day before him. He little knows of the unusual adventure that will befall."
