Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1940

"Did you ever see a prettier Manchester sky than at ten-fifteen this evening?" Griff asks Ida.
A friend has been recommended that he join "the guards, in view of his height." So that's tall, or...?
He's not very excited about his forthcoming working pattern and laments his long commute to Ashton. "Business is poor, especially there, because of the many cancelled holidays." So he will tidy up the offices to kill time.
He suggests meeting up but then berates himself that "this is an awful letter - variations on the theme 'Ashton-under-Lyne' and all in minor keys."
He discusses Mendelssohn's "Hear My Prayer".
