My dear Eugene

I am ashamed of myself not having answered your kind greetings & invitation to rehearsal – but you must forgive me – I have been snowed under with letters & telegrams & meetings. I wish I c^d have come & heard it – a work conducted by you is sure to sound well
Love to you both from us both.
Yrs
