The Hallé, Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths, Maurice Johnstone
1941

Griff writes to Ida explaining that he still has her gloves that he forgot to give back. He always tries to remember to return them to her, "but the times arrives when I an insensible to everything except you. There are noisome passers-by and their loathy torches of course, and great staring headlamps, and policemen but they don't count; at busy spots they seem to be sickening necessities in the scheme of things." People seem to be out at all hours, although it was a Saturday night.
He enjoyed the concert and wants to learn more about the new season. He shares some he's found, particularly about the Hallé's forthcoming concert in Southport Easter, conducted by local lad Maurice Johnstone.
