Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths, St James Church Choir at Birch-in-Rusholme
1940

Griff writes to Ida that no wonder he was late coming out of choir practice at Birch. With three birthdays that week, there were a lot of biscuits to get through. Three ladies who "are all twenty-one together, so they say - and I never dispute the word of a lady."
He traded some cold medicine to a soprano for a toffee. Not quite an equal exchange he thinks.
