Dear Miss Curtis,

I am anxious
to let you know that a […] 1 char: incomplete. morning
rehearsal and the public rehearsal
will take place on the same
day in Philadelphia, viz. on
February 19, 1915Friday next. – I hope very
much to see you there, or
perhaps already at the Station
at 8 o’clock. – Your letter
came many days later, but I
have still to thank you for it.

The score had to remain in
my hands for memorizing;
afterwards it goes over into
yours, which I reverently
kiss.

Yours very faithfully

F Busoni

NY. Feb.y. 17th 1915.
