Which is to take place on Friday 9th December. I ask you if you would be so kind as to send us two or three of your autographs. If you could take the additional trouble of writing a bar or two of music before your signature, we should esteem is a very great favor of kindness. The funds raised are to be utilized for the purpose of assisting necessitous musicians of all nationalities. Considering the object, you will I am sure, be pleased to hear, that the ball is now certain to prove great success but we naturally wish to do everything in our power to add to its attractions hence this request. With many apologies for troubling you. I remain, Yours very faithfully, Stephen Williamson
