Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths, St James Church Choir at Birch-in-Rusholme
1939

Griff tells Ida in a sort of dazed wonder that he managed eleven hours sleep the night before, and is now Wide Awake.
He'd met up with friends and had a jolly time with their radio but kept mucking up getting transport home and had to walk, "so was truly thankful for a fine night and a nice moon."
He offers to sit with her radio and figure out where all the stations that she likes are, drawing up a proper log for her so she doesn't have to fiddle with dials to get the content she likes.
He assures her that he only admires the new Birch church choir sopranos for their singing, nothing else.
