Description
Casals is suffering from a fever and headache. During the concert the evening before he felt himself failing and reached the end only by summoning all his strength. It's not surprising, since he packed his bags at 2 in the morning, took the train at 7, and shortly after arriving at 11 he played a concert, which he must repeat this evening. He will leave again at 7 the next morning. He thanks Metcalfe for her telegram. He will not cancel the rest of his concerts. "I saw my friend Alexander Siloti (of Petersburg) yesterday; he and all his family are my good friends; he knew the news from Cortot and he is so happy about it; he asked me all the details so that he could tell them to his wife Vera."
