Unidad documental simple 35 - Letter from Charles J. Wilson to Elizabeth Trevelyan

Arts Club, 40 Dover Street, Piccadilly. - Has found a violin which he thinks 'so good' that he has 'begged it may be put aside' for a day: it is Rugeri, but the 'scroll cannot be guaranteed genuine, and the varnish has been "renovated"' as they 'do in Germany nowadays'; however, it is in 'excellent condition, with a very fine tone', and he thinks would suit her very well. It is below the price she named, but would have been worthy 'some hundreds' if it had not been 'tampered' with, and that does not affect the sound at all; it is a 'very good looking fiddle'. Asks if she could come to see it tomorrow afternoon. Is going away on Saturday so is very busy, but thinks this is a chance she should not miss.
