Myra's letter to composer Arthur Farwell 1938

 

Letter from Myra to Arthur Farwell in 1938. She and Pinter had just moved back to US after 8 years in London. Arthur Farwell (March 23, 1872 – January 20, 1952) was an American composer, conductor, educationalist, lithographer, esoteric savant, and music publisher. Interested in American Indian music, he became associated with the Indianist movement and founded the Wa-Wan Press to publish music in this genre. He combined teaching, composing and conducting in his career, working on both coasts and in Michigan.
