WASHINGTON
October 8, 1946
Dear Mary:
I am enclosing you a program of a concert we
attended last night just on the spur of the
moment. It was a nice concert.
I tore the corner off the program and wrote a
note to old man Straus and asked him to play
the Blue Danube Waltz after the Bat Overture.
He announced he was playing it by request and
they received a better hand for it than any other
number on the program. The entire program was
lovely - there wasn'1 a thing on it that wasn't
worth listening to.
I hope you have mamma at home by this time and
that everything is all right. I intended to
call you up last night and then took a sudden
notion to go to this concert.
I found out that Oscar is no kin to the other
Straus people. The Erwin Straus on the program
is his son - he is quite a pianist.
I am going to try to get the Van Den Burg spelling
over to the Senator - he evidently doesn't know
how to spell his name if this guy is spelling it
the right way.
Lose to you fath
they.
