I had to make a great effort myself not to heap insults - that is, truths - on him. The letter that I tore up was, all in all, worthy of being addressed to him, but not of being written by me. Besides, I tore it up as soon as I learned that I was coming here, accompanied by his disgusting friend, around December 18. I will do everything possible to see him, and I promise you that he will have an indelible memory of this encounter. And if I miss him, I will take advantage of my concert at St. Sebastian to make a trip to Madrid. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003eI am not sending you the letter from Falla because I will need it in London.
