Sunday Afternoon

My dear husband

I was very glad to get your letter and hear that you are over your trouble, but take good care of yourself for that Grippe is an awful disease to have. I am afraid you were not strong enough to have that concert for three weeks of Diarrhea pulls one down terribly, it may be good and take the disease away but you be very careful of yourself. Well I suppose the concert has taken place and was a success, write me about it and who took part. I have not heard a word from Mary Carson, I expected a line from her for I have always wished her the best of luck, but I suppose she had forgotten that. I am surprised they have not spoken of her more in the papers for she has a beautiful voice. I am in the best of health, but we are having summer weather. Nat wrote a letter of introduction which you have received, she is a fine singer, and I would like you to meet her, she will  sing for you another season. 

There is a waiter who has gone to N.Y. he is to be in the Waldorf Astoria I wish if you could do anything for him you would, for he is a very nice man, never forgets anything, always looking out for you and deserves a good place. I received a letter from Nat he had been to a futurist concert in Milan, he went expecting to see some fun, and he saw it: there was an awful riot that a man dare ask for their money and what did he give them? the best seats were 12 francs but he went in the first row in the gallery they were 5 francs. When he went in he saw the whole house and gallery surrounded by the Police, the public was already beginning to groan, whistle and hiss, some had horns and whistles and many had packages  with them; at 9 o'clock the whole house roared for them to begin, the poet came out and tried to speak, but the audience became wild. Nat could only hear him say that Strauss had imitated certain sounds
