In my opinion Paul La France, that's the young man I was telling you about, will be one of the very very best--quite at the top of the tree, and I'm determined he shall.

But of course, he needs care and encouragement.

I think of his giving a _Conference_, in which he'll lecture on his own singing.

I shall be on the platform to make a sort of introductory speech and Monti, of course, will accompany.

He is the only accompanist that counts.
