Dear Peter
If anything can be done for Harold Spencer (violinist)
16 Moyola Street
Duncairn Gardens
Belfast
I wish it cd be done – But I fear he is past being engaged for concerts. I used to be a fellow student with his brother.1 – I did not know he lived in Belfast. I enclose his letter – but fear nothing can be done.
Thankyou so much for giving me such a royal time – & what splendid performances – I had good journey home2
