Dearest Harriet
I have been going through the score of our concerto for the copyist & I find one or 2 mistakes in the pfte part which I send.1
Also the end of the cadenza. - Arnold’s score was not out when I did it so I had to do it from memory - now I’ve got that right.
Wwhen shall I see you again? - I come up for Arnold’s Symphony on Aug 11th - any chance then?
Yrs
