30.VII.1915
Dear Giacomo,
Adami, who heard from me about everything I did in Paris for the readmission of your operas at the Opéra-Comique and also about Leonbestia's [that beast Leoncavallo's] intervention, will also tell you about an idea I've had and another one from Vaucaire to regain the lost position — we are in the middle of a war and as good Italians we must win.....and win we will.
Write me immediately about what you decide to do, and I'll write to Paris or to Venice — I prefer Paris, where victory would be assured.
I will come to Zurich, but only after you have spoken with the Viennese Publishers and if you believe my presence would be useful — I must confess that I would not be particularly happy right now to have to meet with two Croatians!!
yours fondly
Tito Ricordi
