Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1937

Griff tells Ida he got home ok and hopes she didn't get too cold before she got in. She meant to practice (piano or double bass) over the Christmas holidays but didn't get around to it so "it might have been good for your fingers! But it's nice to be quiet sometimes."
He recalls walking home on the 1st of January and overhearing a bit of drunken confusion about a chap called Albert. Sounds highly entertaining.
He's been practicing scales and runs on his cello Boris and reading Marguerite Steen's novel Spider about musicians.
