Scope and content

White House, Albany Street, W.1. (corrected to N.W.1). - Apologises for the delay in replying to Mrs Trevelyan's letter, for which she thanks her; has only just received it due to a change of address. Is happy to be back in London, despite 'numerous difficulties', and to have 'new prospects for the autumn'. Would be very happy to come and see her, as the memory of her last visit to the Trevelyans' house is so good, but is unsure whether it will be possible. Has just finished three broadcasts at the BBC, and must now work on the recording of a Beethoven concerto on 1 and 2 July with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Fears that she will have to leave for Paris on 3 July, but if that is not the case will come 'with joy' to see Mrs Trevelyan on 5 July, as suggested. Has no news of Peter Rybar, but supposes he has not yet come to London or Mrs Trevelyan would have heard. Hopes to see Joachim [Röntgen] and Anne Marie in February at the Hague, if the projected concert with his quartet comes off. Sends regards to Mr Trevelyan.
