Letter
Ida Carroll, Geoffrey Griffiths, St James Church Choir at Birch-in-Rusholme
1940

Griff describes the fullness of Saturday night around south Manchester on his walk home from seeing Ida. Apparently there were throngs on the street, at least 2 arguments and one chap who couldn't wobble his way between 20 yards before falling over himself. Despite the interruptions he enjoys walking.
He relays some trouble of a mutual friend who didn't get the job they needed, and he asks Ida to keep it quiet. Similarly, someone's been fiddling with the Birch church accounts.
He admits to not noticing the flowers at her concert as he was far too busy looking at her to take notice of anything else.
In other news he's double booked himself between visiting someone in Marple and going to a concert but concedes he will have to prioritise Marple this time.
