TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, March 9, 1915. Letter to the father of an aspiring composer. In full: “I found a little time yesterday to look over your boy’s song. It is an encouraging effort of a beginner, and shows possibilities of sentiment and of a proper appreciation of the feeling of the words. Naturally, it is a far cry from Tipperary and he will have to buckle to and work lots at counterpoint and musical form before he is entitled to be treated as a real composer. After he has completely mastered his technique, he will show whether he has the real stuff in him for a composer.” In very good condition, with intersecting folds, one vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature, scattered creases, toning and soiling to the borders, and two rectangular blocks of toning at the top and bottom.
