TLS, one page, 8.25 x 10.75, personal letterhead, April 12, 1934. Letter to Mrs. M. J. Golden, in part: "I very much appreciate your invitation to play at a concert for the benefit of the Dorothy Kahn Club for Crippled Children. I am at present, and expect to be broadcasting in November, twice weekly. In addition to this I am writing an opera to be produced the latter part of this year which takes all of my time. And so it is impossible for me to accept your kind invitation." In fine condition, with light toning along intersecting folds. The opera Gershwin refers to is the classic Porgy and Bess, which was first performed on September 30, 1935.
