Transcription of the letter

Avril 4. 1958.



Dear Ernest:

I still didn’t receive the all existing materials of Locandiera and for the Copyrith Dep. I received the confirmation of the relieve of the third piano concerto but Sylvia Goldstein write me that they cannot find an assignment for Locandiera and that they have not official right to this work. So it must be with you.

In any case please push the sending of Locandiera as I do not know how long to be staying here I would like to have settled it during the time I stay here. Please send everything as soon as possible.

I would like to have time to look through the score before the Summer. Thanks.



With my best wishes.
