Steichen replies to Carl Haverlin of Broadcast Music in New York City. In full: “Thank you for remembering to return the Sandburg print. As far as I know there is only one Varese record which was issued by EMS. At least that is the one I have and the one which Carl heard.” In very good condition, with light wrinkling and creasing, pencil notation at top, and a paperclip impression at the top edge with some rust staining. Accompanied by a copy of the letter written to Steichen. Carl Sandburg was one of America’s most celebrated authors, and Edgard Varese was a pioneer in electronic music. RRAuction COA.
