MARTHA GRAHAM 66 FIFTH AVENUE NEW YORK
Bennington,
Julys- 7, i942,
Dear Aaron: “e
Here 1 em again, I em sending you a script to look at if
you have a moment. i do this without knowing how tied up you
are but trusting to luck.
Of course when you read 1t you may notb- be drawn to the
script either, But et least I am taking a chance, wthis
is a little different in that 1 do not do a performance of
eng new work here this summer, We are not having a Festival.
if it is anything that yous#e- think you might like to do
could you tell me when you could do it? I do want to do it
in New York this season, By that I mean just before Cristmas
or thereabouts.
I hope that you will have a good summer, I suppose that you are
working on a new piece ss usual. Good luck with it.
I hope to hear from you soon, 1 shall try to do a short thing
for general compeny this summer, We go to Washington for ‘Iwo
performances and i can not begin seriously on a new piece until
after that.
Best wishes,
Telephone: GRamercy 5-8240
