Letter to Michel (son): Marblehead, March 19, 1948

"Sunday the 21st I am going to play at the Rushfords my Poême Héroïque, trumpet version alone, with dear Roger Voisin, who is the friendliest and also the most perfect trumpet player I have met during my career. He picks me up and drives me home in his superb car. He will soon play my suite for trumpet and organ with Power Biggs."
