LC ASC 7/50, [16] - Typewritten lettercard (carbon copy) from Schoenberg to Moriz Violin, dated May 3, 1945

[This letter is in English; obvious typing errors have been silently corrected]


⇧ Professor Moriz Violin
Hotel Ambassador
55 Bacon [sic] Street
San Francisco
California

Dear Mr. Violin: 1

Upon your request I wrote a letter to Mr. Monteux 2 asking him to give you an appointment. Simultaneously I wrote you, informing you of the fulfillment of your request.

I wonder whether you received this letter and whether you have seen Mr. Monteux (whom I also asked about his performance of my Chamber Symphony.)

How are you? I hope you are all right. I have been frequently sick, but I am better now.


Cordial greetings,
yours
[unsigned]
