My Dear Mrs Seiberling
I want to tell you what a great inspiration and stimulus to our musical life your visit here has been.
You presented in an intensely interesting and charming way a subject of vital importance to our country and one that I am greatly interested in. Since I played for you yesterday thot[sic] you would be interested in knowing that I am actively interested in furthering the appreciation of music in my own community and will earnestly support the suggestions that come from the National Federation of Music Clubs to the Musical Art Society.
It was a genuine pleasure to me to play for you yesterday and your charming hostess Mrs Myers and I wish you the greatest success in your undertaking and loyal support of the musicians throughout the country
Most Sincerely
Cecilia Augspurger –Transcriber
