Letter
12 Greenwood Road Dalston. E. 6 March 1885 My dear Pan Dvořák, I was very pleased to hear from you, and quite surprised to find that you had written in English. I must congratulate you on your progress in our language. When you come to England again you will not need my help in buying pipes and tobacco! I am very glad that you are coming to London next month, and hope that we shall meet then. Shall you be here before April 20th? If you are, I should be very pleased if you could come up on that evening to hear a concert of my choir. We shall have a programme entirely made up of the works of living English composers; and as you like England and the English I think you would be interested. If you are in London then, I shall ask Mr. Alfred Littleton to bring you up. I have been very busy lately, or I should have written to you long since. I hear about you sometimes from the Littletons, and am impatient to see the new work you have written for Birmingham. Have you yet finished your new symphony for the Philharmonic Society? I suppose you have or you will not have much time to get the parts copied. Hoping to see you very soon in London. I am, my dear Pan Dvořák, Yours very sincerely Ebenezer Prout
