Letter
The Hallé, Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1940

Griff tells Ida that he hasn't had the opportunity to telephone her with either telephones being gone or the offices being too busy at the travel agents as "people stand about like Looming Shadows."
He's rehearsing with the Hallé choir and arranges to meet her at Central Library as Dr Malcolm Sargent will probably keep them late.
He advises her on trains to take and relates the story of a bit of a punch up between a private and sergeant.
If she's planning on visiting the cinema he promises to zip there to meet her as soon as he can so they can spend the evening together.
