Dear Dr Spohr
Dear Sir

Will you serve with an audience a young American music-student who has come here with the sole purpose of meeting you. – I have composed a Psalm for choir and orchestra which I have brought with me, which I am very desirious you should examine. I desire also your very valuable advice as to the course I should put on to become a real musician – If you can serve with an early interview I shall be quietly obliged, as I await only your convenience –

Very respectfully your
Ch. Crozat Converse
from New York.
U.S.A.

To Dr L. Spohr.
