"I'm so glad modern music goes so well in the Mad South" - Three Letters to Reneé Longy.

An interesting group of letters to Bernstein's former teacher at Curtis where he studied score reading and ear training with her.  All addressed to Reneé Longy, various sizes, age toning, telegram is folded, overall fine. The group includes:

Autograph postcard signed, "Dear R., I fervently hope the minor operation is truly minor! What a shame you couldn't make it. In any case, I leave here for good on the 21st, which is any minute, zut, and it's been just a flimsy shadow of a summer, so brief, & almost all gray rain. Eh bien, alors, comme M. de la Rochefoucauld a dit... Love you & be well, Lenny," post marked July 18, 1959, Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts. 

Typed postcard signed, "Dear R: Just a rushed word to say I haven't forgotten, and to thank you for your sweet note on the occasion of November fourteenth. What a memory! I'm so glad modern music goes so well in the Mad South, and let me hear how Longy goes in the Mad South. Love: Lenny, December 16, 1952, New York City. 

Western Union telegram with envelope, "Madame Reneé Longy, Drs. Hospital, Coral Gables, FLO, Trying to reach you by phone sending every wish and blessing for speedy recovery and eagerly looking forward to our February reunion. Love, Spooky Bernstein," October 27, 1962. (10061)
