Artefact

Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1939

Griff is going to practice on Boris his cello, but not in the front room. Maybe the bathroom with a small heater.
"War or no war, I'm glad music is going on, as well as your knitting." Griff suggested the choir do a concert in aid of the Red Cross, "or even have rehearsals without a definite object."
He's been refunded his Hazelgrove choir subscription but for ages "I've been carrying the envelope most carelessly, thinking it was a receipt!"
He discusses cinema options in Manchester and doesn't fancy going to see the Enigma Variations, for his mother is too ill for anything so long.
"There have been one or two very good dreams, but most awkward to tell you about. I might be able to tell Herr Freud if he was alive - which I doubt."
