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

Griff says leaving Ida in the evenings sees him more of a "slow unwilling crawl" than a bold march. He doesn't care what she uses to wrote to him just as long as she does write.
As letters are "always a form of self-expression, so all those I receive from you are just Capitol" even if she was in an off mood when she wrote them.
He urges her to take care of herself, "despite the beastly doing at School" and assures that even if she says she is out of practice that she played piano for him splendidly," dash it all what is an odd wrong note or so of music between friends."
He will see her after the concert and hopes she doesn't mind Heddle Nash, "he has to wail away like anything, being a Soul in Purgatory, and so forth."
He signs off with "I like your pink jersey" and hopes he can take her out soon.
