Such a joyous surprise we5 had on
Easter Sunday! Before Yehudi6 went
away he ordered the R.C.A. peo people to
make for me some impressions from shells made in England7 which had not yet been reproduced
for the market here8; the Pizzetti9, the Lekeu10 etc. Among them we found a disk made by you and
Yehudi, the Andante from Mozart11’s
Sonata in B flat major12. I love it, and have played it on the machine many times. It
seemed like having a little visit from you. Wasn’t it good of your brother
to have these impressions made for me? I had been telling him what a
difficult time I had in persuading a dealer here to import the Brahms13
D minor sonata14
from (which and Hephzibah15 played) from England for me, as it was never
brought out in this country, and that generous and thoughtful boy
thought he would save me the trouble of importing others I wanted.
I am sure you will have a jolly visit with Mrs. Casserly16. I do like her so much.
I’m glad you are in a warm and sunny country4, dear. Easter was bitter cold here,2 and today is just one point above freezing, with a wind that cuts one’s face.
Lovingly, my dear Your Aunt WillaStephen17 is in the Island of Rhodes18!!
