“Wednesday afternoon our C. M. A. committee held a long meeting here. Yesterday afternoon our first orchestral rehearsal for 2nd concert. It was satisfactory till just at the close, when things got into a mess, & the orchestra broke up in a semi-mutinous way. I like the Streuensee overture better than I expected.”
