ALS, three pages on two adjoining sheets, 5.25 x 8.25, 38 Via Gregoriana letterhead, November 23, 1917. Handwritten letter, in part: "I rec'd the enclosed a few days ago & today I've received the copy of…referred to. Will one of your people write to Herr Reiners & tell him I cannot possibly alter the passage. I remember his artistic imagery with pleasure…You will see that his letter requests an alteration of the only real tenor bit…his pencilled proposition alters the melody into nothing."
