17 November 1915
Dearest Nicola,
I put off writing to you about the Toscanini concert in Paris because it was first necessary for me to resolve all of the other kinds of difficulties that stood in the way of realizing this project; difficulties that I was unable to overcome, such that, in agreement with Toscanini, we decided to postpone this presentation of Italian music in Paris to a more propitious moment (perhaps next spring). Rest assured that when the time comes, I will be sure to remember your exquisitely kind offer to help us iron out the difficulties regarding passports and transportation within Italy.
The attorney Tito Vezio Ciolfi of Rome, whom I know quite well, will ask to speak with you one of these days for an extremely important proposal with which I am involved; I would kindly ask you to grant him a quarter of an hour of your precious time, because I am certain that it will not be wasted.
I hope to see you soon in Rome, where I will certainly be before the end of the month; meanwhile, a cordial greeting from
yours most warmly
Tito Ricordi
