The Hallé, Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1937

Griff feels "guilty, staying in all Tuesday night and not writing to you." He went to bed early feeling "seedy" and expected a cold was coming on, not sleeping for hours, "I enjoy lying in bed and thinking pleasant thoughts."
Some travel agencies are shutting down and he was sent to close out the accounts. He was doing the accounts for Cottier when he heard some nice music being played elsewhere, one of her Matthay School of Music students he reckons.
"Would you have time to go out with me on Saturday, please?" He's like the cinema and of course it's the new concert season of the Hallé, "I should like to go with you if you are going in for it again." He's already saved up £1.
