Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1940

Griff writes to Ida, "the walk was one of the best but I hope you didn't collect too large a quantity of mud on those shoes."
He's sending her a ticket to a concert and even though the programme isn't pretty "there is always the fine precision of the playing to admire, isn't there."
He's already congratulating her on her win at cards which has yet to be played and prophesises that the choir practice tonight will go fine. He'll spend some time in the library this evening then on to the cinema and then "a short tour of Manchester By Night will pass the time satisfactorily for the last half hour" before he meets her for "the midnight ramble."
The "mouldy" weather sets to put him in a foul mood until later, "until then I may bully Eric and insult intending passengers right and left; already I can't spell, being doubtful of several words. I shall sing deliberately out of tune, if I am not already out, and probably tell everyone how badly they sing."
