German-born conductor and composer (1876–1962). Collection of three letters in German, each signed “Bruno Walter,” consisting of one ALS and two TLSs, ranging in date from 1939–1960, all to Lotte Leonard. The ALS, written on black-bordered stationery, after the death of his daughter, reads, in part (translated): “I can say about myself that I’ve just started to make music again. It seems to work, so I will continue doing it.” Another letter, dated 1941, reads, in part (translated): “I wrote to the Emergency Rescue Committee in your interest…I cannot say for sure, however, if it really was the Emergency Rescue Committee or a similar one that I wrote concerning your case, as I was dealing with a lot of matters of this kind…I am of your opinion—that an apprenticeship at a college would be the best for you, and it would be the greatest pleasure for me to help you getting one.” In fine condition, with expected folds, and a couple of small notations and rusty paperclip mark to one letter.
