Description

Walter Damrosch

TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, National Bureau for Blind Artists, Inc. letterhead, December 15, 1938. Form letter soliciting a committee to benefit blind musicians. In part: “I have been aware for many years of a serious social problem existing in our country. This problem is concerned with the employment of blind musicians, many of whom although concert artists are compelled, through no fault of their own, either to play on the streets, remain in idleness at home, or to become public charges. I am happy therefore, to invite my friends and music lovers generally to serve with me on a sponsoring committee in the presentation of Alec Templeton…in a concert at Carnegie Hall.” Pencil notations to top and bottom, and some light toning to lower right, otherwise fine condition. RR Auction COA.
