Subjects Conductors (Music), Music festivals, Musicians, Opera, Singers
Description Correspondence, photographs, reports, and publicity relating to the Ravinia Festival, a summer music festival held at Ravinia Park in Highland Park, Illinois, since 1904 (non-continuous). 
User-Contributed Transcription concerned our contract, made in good faith, is still binding.

I realize that there is nothing personal between you and us in all this and that you have acted throughout as our friend.  I can therefore propose to you three possibilities;

One: keep the recital as scheduled
Two: change it to an appearance with orchestra even on a night where you have another soloist
Three: pay us our fee and forget the whole thing

Your suggestion that we play at a future time is unfortunately of no interest to us as we do not expect to be in this country in the summer for the next few years.
With cordial greetings,
Bobby Fizdale

PS Since the contract was signed by Columbia the best course in future would be to deal with them directly
