SARGENT, Sir Malcolm (1895-1967). Conductor.

Two Typed Letters Signed ("Malcolm Sargent") to the Mayor of Colchester, regretting that he is unable to attend the Oyster Feast on either the original or the revised dates.

1 page 8vo and 1 page 4to, 9 Albert Hall Mansions, SW7, 3 August and 18 October 1951. 


Sargent graciously declines, in the first instance because ". . . I have to be conducting here in London on that date . . ." and in the second explains that " . . . Alas, I have to be in Liverpool on November 9th . . .", but adds in a scrawled postscript, "Please ask me another year!"

Sargent had been appointed conductor of the BBC Symphony Orchestra the previous year.

Filing holes at the left and a small spindle hole at the top of the first letter, not affecting the text.
