… Shakespeare Prize, but I shall be glad to give you any further particulars you may desire.

It would make me very happy if you would accept, and thereby make English music better known and appreciated in Germany.
I am Professor of German at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of Queen’s College. My brother, Max Fiedler, may be known to you as a conductor and composer.
Believe me
Yours sincerely

H G Fiedler

I am going to Germany on August 9th and hope to be able to take the good news of your acceptance with me.1
