Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths
1939

Griff offers suggestions for Ida's route home from Port Patrick.
"A church choir isn't a very respectful sort of place, for one is either listening to set prayers, or looking at the music to come; in between the general singing and so forth." But if he can keep the choir boys in line then he's done a good job, "I see some of 'em out on Wednesday evenings, and believe me...!"
He hopes to take a day trip with her or, failing that, "I wonder if you would care to join the gramophone orgy" of him and his parents sitting listening to recordings.
