What [horní část pravého rohu je protržen] friend? Has he quite forgotten the friends at Birmingham? Well, we send our best wishes to you, Mrs. Dvořák, and your family for the festive + happy Christmas time. I have been expecting a visit from the “Spectre”, but have not been able to “sketch” his lineaments! [horní část levého rohu je protržen] … “Dream of Gerontius”, a work I have often wished was set to music! I said “Perhaps your wish may be realized, for the Cardinal himself gave the composer a copy of the poem”. What say you to that? The National Society of Professional Musicians hold a conference in Birmingham next month, + the whole body will then know that you are an Honorary member! But I must leave off - When I receive the sketches, or hear from you, I will at once write. Till then, farewell! May you + yours be happy! Always faithfully yours Stephen S Stratton
