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

Griff wants to see Appalachia by Delius at the Hallé, he tells Ida, but fears he's running out of slots his season ticket arrangement will allow. Either way he hopes to meet her under the cover of darkness behind the Midland hotel after the concert they're both planning to attend.
He's a bit uneasy about Birch choir, especially now her father has left as choirmaster.
He arranges to come to her family home with music and concert tickets, and writes of books and radio set recommendations.
He arrived home early which caused quite the startled uproar with his family and is not looking forward to the various whist drives he's expected to support.
