To Carlton F. Wells,
Jan. 7, 1936
; Newberry
Has had a mountain of mail to get through since returning from Europe. Glad to find his
letter. He is the only person who has noticed her alteration of the text of the aria from Elijah [Mendelssohn's] . Even baritones who have sung it don't seem to have noticed.
Of course, the change [from "If with all your heart you truly seek me" to
"If with all your heart you truly seek him"] is all-important.
