Dear friend,

I wrote to you some months ago and you have not replied. I then hoped to see you in London but you did not favour me with a visit.

Will you reserve for the Phil[harmonic] Soc[iety] the first performance in England of the whole or part of the new orchestral work which is mentioned in todays Telegraph?

I think the friendship which has from the first existed between you and the Phil[harmonic] Soc[iety] suggests that we should have the pleasure of producing your new work, and not Mr. Richter, nor Mr. Henschel, nor Mr. Manns.

Let me have a letter from you; our dates are March 10 and 24, April 7 and 27, May 11, June 1. You can choose your own date for coming to conduct but let me know soon.

Yours very sincerely

Francesco Berger

Hon(orary) Sec(retary)
