Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths, Hilda Collens
Northern School Of Music (NSM)
1938

Ida is away and he hopes she is getting sunshine in Cornwall. He's been to the cricket but didn't get to catch his friend there. He's not going to make it to the Night Club - playing cards with friends - "for duty calls me to Oldham office."
"I hope will take care not to go to School and do a lot of work."
He assures her that "of course you didn't writes 'a lot of drivel'; I can't show you, only you seem to have a penchant for screwing things into tiny balls and chucking them about."
He updates her on friends and that "Miss Collens telephoned some days ago asking for information, and sounded dashed pleased with herself; she seemed calm and unhurried and my previous impression of her was that she seldom exercises these qualities."
He ends by discussing books, cinema and their plans to meet.
