Dear Mr. Farwell—
You probably scarcely recall my name, if at all—but I should like to tell you how beautiful I thought your prize-winning Concerto for two pianos—and extend to you my heartiest congratulations! I was always a great admirer of your songs, which you sent me in manuscript many years ago—unfortunately, they were too high for my voice and they did not lend themselves to transposition, which I regretted very much.
I shall always miss our charming and interesting friend "Fitchen" who was the one who introduced me to you and your work. After having lived in London eight years, he has just returned to home shores—and it’s really wonderful to be back.
I hope that if you are in New York, at any time, we shall have the pleasure of seeing you.
I am,
Yours sincerely, and in great admiration,
Myra Mortimer Pinter
