The White Gates,

Dear Gerald

Thank you so much for “Nightingales”¹ – Its real you, I think, & v. good – the only place I am doubtful about is the tenor lead at b.7. – which may sound a little dreary (you know what tenors can be when they try) – but we must hope for un-tenory tenors.
My love to Joyce
Yrs
