TLS, one page, 6.25 x 8, personal letterhead, May 21, 1968. Regretfully declining an invitation, Copland writes, in full: “Thank you for your friendly letter, and the Lighthouse Music School booklet. Also for the invitation to take part in the fall event planned for October 30th. The fact is I shall be in Europe during that period, and have a particularly heavy fall schedule, when I return. Much as I should like to be of help as you suggest I must suggest you come back to me at a later time, and perhaps something can be arranged.” In fine condition, with a few editorial corrections in Copland’s hand. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. RRAuction COA.
