Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1935

Griff relates to Ida of a mysterious bit of paper with nothing but "37" written on it.
It's been snowing in Manchester and his muscles are feeling the extra work required to walk through the streets.
Nevertheless he's gone for a walk, ended up with a wet foot and ankle due to some deceptive snow, visited the library, listened to the Martini-Vermouth concert (sounds classy), read a bit of Flamenco by Lady Eleanor Smith and is now writing her her, the most pleasant part of his evening.
He's happy to miss his bus home if it means spending more time with her and believes that more youngsters (under 70) should have reasons to miss their bus, too.
