Item 4 - Letter from Marie Busch to R. C. Trevelyan

1 item

8 Wearbay Road, Folkestone. - Has been meaning to ask whether Trevelyan and Tovey would prefer ["The Bride of Dionysus"] not to be mentioned while they were still working on it, including the possibility of it being performed in Germany. Has so far only told a few friends, but is often asked what she is doing and why she is not in London doing her usual work; since she has been 'hors de combat' for over a year, would not like to give the impression of bad health. When she is not giving lessons, she spends a great part of the day on her translation, in which she is more and more interested; the choruses give particular trouble. Would like to hear what Mr [Willi?] Strecker thought of her translation. Asks if Trevelyan was in Oxford for the Bach festival, which must have been delightful.
