Typed letter signed to the powerful Austrian concert promoter, Hugo Heller, 6 November, 1923. Busch writes as Music Director of the Dresden Staatskapelle, on a printed correspondence card. Dear Sirs! I thank you for your kind letter from October 24th and at the moment I can only ask you to inform me of the guaranteed fee possible for you to give me for the Dresden Staattskapelle concerts under my direction in Austria and Czechoslovakia. This would involve the securing of a guarantee fee for about 90 musicians, as well as for transportation and free lodgings. I look forward to your further kindness in communicating with me. Yours respectfully Fritz Busch Post World War I was extremely an extremely difficult for Germany with massive inflation and even more so for musicians and others in the arts. A tour by the legendary orchestra would also have been a very difficult undertaking in the axis Countries as well. Busch and ardent anti-fascist, exactly a decade later would be fired by the Nazis for not agreeing to their demands for his orchestra.
