Summary
Apologizing that he is unable to attend a meeting saying he is "...tied to a stake here until the close of next month with the task of organizing a Choir School and establishing a new master. The very thought of your meeting is tantalizing in the extreme. I trust you are well and not like the good principal of St. Mary's suffering from too much work. I was grieved to hear of his condition. How very admirably Fraser has done Berkeley in your series! It is a wonderful feat deftly performed."
