Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths, St James Church Choir at Birch-in-Rusholme
Northern School Of Music (NSM)
1939

Griff apologises to Ida for not handing over the book he meant to lend to her. He arranges a date for the cinema and hopes she doesn't stay too late at the Matthay School of Music office so that they can spend more time together.
He's doing the accounts for the travel office in Stalybridge while working in Ashton and advises her on her trip to Llandudno.
He shares her conspiracies about Birch church and how "fairly malicious work goes on in most church 'sets'" to which his solution is "to seek a church that suits one and to avoid its extra happenings if at all possible."
He fumbles over his opinions of modern women's fashion and praises Ida for not wearing it.
He's applied to the Home Guard "so I hope soon to play with a real rifle." The drills for which clash with choir on a Sunday.
