  • Description
  • Hawkins says the 'royalty people are still holding out' and asks if Renee made the call to them 'Wednesday' - makes it likely the letter is after that of 15 June 1936. He needs to make arrangements to go to Paris to make records, to Holland for records, and back to Denmark. He's not sure where he'll 'take to next' but he hopes to get something fixed in England 'this fall'. He hasn't heard 'that record of Duke's as yet' - he hasn't been as interested in Duke recently - he rather likes Fletcher (Henderson) and (Benny) Goodman. He asks Renee to reply to Seilerstrasse 22, c/o B Moser, Bern, Switzerland.,,
