Dear Mr. Johnson,

            I think that this Hymn¹ was done by Schirmer. If he should not be able to find a copy, I will ask the members of the Oratorio Society-- some of whom may have preserved a copy.

Very truly yours,

Frank Damrosch

NOTES:

1)  On the original document, some unknown person has penciled in [Washington] as a clue about the hymn in reference here, however, this evidence has not  been verified and should not  be taken as a valid reference.
