To the violinist and composer Tivadar Náchez (1859-1930) about his upcoming trip to the Frost-Coolidge Music Festival in Ojai, California: "How very kind of you to reply to my letter so quickly. It was very thoughtful of you to offer me some introductions for Santa Barbara, & if I find I shall be out there, at a loose end by myself, may I write to you again later on & avail myself of your kind suggestion? I shall be the guest of Mrs. F. S. Coolidge [i. e. the pianist Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, 1864-1953] during the Festival at Ojai, & shall most likely return home immediately it is over.

If I don't reach New York before Harold leaves for the West, I shall surely see him out there, at Ojai [...]". - On stationery with engraved address..
