Artefact

Letter
Walter Carroll, Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths, St James Church Choir at Birch-in-Rusholme
1937

Griff writes to Ida despite her assurance that no response is necessary. "The literary urge us now heavily upon me."
He relays his day, Manchester City's defeat, and the constant interruption to he writing by "interfering people" with "a lot of silly enquiries."
He enjoyed the ballet, "though I was stood on one leg most of the time at the back of the balcony."
He enjoyed choir practice at Birch with her father.
