Typed letter signed by the legendary German conductor, Beverly Hills, September 29, 1961.  Walter, who had turned eighty five two weeks prior, writes to an acquaintance.  A sad letter, as he mentions he has given up conducting concerts.

September 29, 1961

Mrs. Frances Taussig-Cortes

42-25 80th St.

Elmhurst, 73, N. Y.

Much admired Madame:

Cordial thanks for taking the time to send your dear letter and it’s interesting report of your stay in Salzburg.

It was very kind of you to remember my 85th birthday.  I cannot meet the publics desire to hear me again in New York.  I have given up conducting in public and have limited my musical activities to making records.

My warmest greetings and best wishes for your happiness.

Yours very sincerely,

Bruno Walter
