A 20/20 Legacy: the centenary of the Northern School of Music

Artefact

Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths, Hilda Collens
Northern School Of Music (NSM)
1938

Griff celebrates with Ida that he has won brilliantly at cards, "I couldn't refrain from winning. My cards were colossal, stupendous, all singing, all talking." Despite the win, he "would very much have preferred to go home with you. Honestly for two reasons." And we're left to our imaginations what those two reasons are...
She is visiting Stratford and "it is a place I've always wanted to go and I shall be pale with envy - or green. Maybe pale green."
He admits to stumbling over vocal exercises and diagnoses her as "suffering from too little help from Miss H.C. this term."
He is being held up by a salesman from Butlins currently camped out on the shop floor of the travel agents where he works, and may be late for a concert.
