AMQS on an off-white sheet of Dr. Harry Small’s Academy of Music stationery, 7.25 x 5, signed “John Philip Sousa, Feb. ‘00.” Sousa pens three bars of music from an unidentified work, notating underneath “dolce.” Two vertical creases, one each through a single letter of signature, scattered toning, heavier to the left edge, a couple small edge tears, trimmed bottom edge, and show-through from adhesive on reverse, otherwise very good condition. Sousa’s quote and signature remain very prominent and bold. RRAuction COA.
