A telegram
from Washington makes it
absolutely imperative
for me to leave today.
I can’t tell you how sorry
I am, but you will understand without words, I
know. I am already
a week behind my
schedule, and I am
to give a little recital
of Indian folklore,
art, music, etc. which the
entire Department of
the Interior (whose government officials have Indian
matters in charge) will attend. They have arranged
the preliminary meeting
for this evening, and I
must be there. You may
be sure that I shall
tell them about the Rhapsody – the Fantasy.
Yesterday was one
of the happiest days of
my life for which I thank
you, dear Master, from
a full heart.
My affectionate greetings to you and your
dear wife – may the future bring
us all often together is the
sincere wish of your faithful
friend,
Please, dear Master, write
on my program for me, zum
Andenken! – Mrs Mason –
my dear friend – will bring you
my program after the concert.
How I wish that I could
be there!
