⇧ Mr. Moriz Violin 55 Mason Street Hotel Ambassador San Francisco, Calif. April 10, 1945 Dear Friend: 1 only to inform you that just now I have written in the sense you asked me to Monteux. 2 I am sure he will invite you, or do you intend to write him? Hotel Fairmont[.] I could not write him earlier, bec[ause] of the performance of my Chamber Symphony [so] I hesitated to intrude upon him. Let me hear whether your talk with him satisfied you. I hope you come really once to Los Angeles. And, please: dont be so desperate. Everything becomes softer after some time. And if you think what other people in Europe had to suffer, Jews, Poles, Russians, men, women and small children, you might find some consolation in the feeling that this has been spared to you. Many cordial greetings and best success, yours faithfully [unsigned] © Transcription Ian Bent, 2020 |
