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

Letter
Walter Carroll, Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths, Hilda Collens
Northern School Of Music (NSM)
1947

Griff hopes that Ida's journey wasn't spoiled by the argumentative "crabby individual" on the train. He hopes she is now "in that ever so nice creaky bed" getting rest.
He updates her on Hilda Collens' activities who is finishing the reports for the NSM, and he's arranging work with Greyson's the printers.
"There were two or three callers of doubtful value and intention but I signed on a junior, piano," whose mother is eager for them to attend the NSM.
He's swapped tickets for the Opera House and is excited to see the Noel Coward play.
Her house, he tells Ida, was too quiet for her father Walter so he "requested Marie to kick up a row with her broom, brushes and so forth. Not once during the day, he said, did anyone use the cellar steps dropping a piece (or two) of coal on the way."
