I like to have Fleisher come at the last rehearsal also about 11 o'clock. As soon as I make my reservations on the plane from Chicago to Los Angeles I will let you know." 1 p. on Monteux's Maine letterhead, stamped "Received" on June 2, 1960 on the verso. Folding creases; otherwise in fine condition. 7.25 x 10.5 inches (18.4 x 26.7 cm). From the estate of Monteux's daughter, Nancie Monteux Barendse. (13779)
