Dear Barbirolli

Would you allow a friend & ex pupil of mine to send you one or two orchestral works for your perusal & I hope approval.  His name is Stanley BATE & I think he has genuine talent
I w^d especially recommend
Viola Concerto
& P^fte Concerto
& Sinfonietta (I think that is the title[)]

His address is

64 Dean Street
W.1

With kind regards
Yrs
