December 29th., 1938. Dear Mr. Barbirolli: When you so kindly asked me last Monday night, to be your guest on Sunday the Eighth, I spontaneously accepted, as for some unknown reason I thought it would be an evening performance. I see now that you are going to conduct in the afternoon, and am indeed sorry not to be able to attend, as I have already accepted going to the country that day. I am very disappointed, as it would have given me a great deal of pleasure to see you conduct "Pelleas and Melisande" of which I am particularly fond. With renewed thanks and regrets, I am, Yours very sincerely, (Germain Séligmann) John Barbirolli, Esq., Hampshire House, 150 Central Park South, New York, New York.
