Dear Gerald

Thank you very much1 – we must never again say that Adrian is not a great conductor – It was he who found out how to do the slow movt.2 
As regards I. Gurney – I really don’t know his work well enough to write about it – You are obviously the man. I cd add a paragraph if [you] want.
Our love to Joyce & the son3
