Dear Frank

(1)  Job at Worcester
Atkins refuses to let me have a Saxophone – if he persists I shall cut the section where it occurs (Scene VI  F.S. p. 67 up to letter (Pp)) – so please ask your librarian not to send the parts till this is settled – & then if he persists to paste paper over the cuts to be made.1
(2)  I return the Galop – it seems all right.2
(3)   I return your note about Job with my comment3
Yrs
