Scope and Content

Richter has just learned from Frau Balling of the death of dear old Broadfield. [E.J. Broadfield was chairman of the Hallé Concerts Society from 1899 until 1913 when he died in office.] No one has sent Richter the announcement of Broadfield's death. He will always think of this fine man with great affection. Richter is happy to continue to be spared to impair excellent music. Dated 23 Oct 1913.
