Dear Adrian

I owe you 2 answers
(1) To your letter of March 10^th
I have ½ finished a pfte concerto¹ which Harriet Cohen is to play if she likes it – But (a) it may never be finished (b) I may not like it when it is (c) she may not – so that’s that.  Please say nothing about this at present.
(2) “Job” – with great pleasure – a pfte acc^t is being done and it will be ready soon – Of course I sh^d be pleased if you w^d conduct it  –  (the score is illegible)²
Yrs
