My dear Knoedler
I have heard the protégé
of Mr. Frick whom you presented
to me; he has a beautiful tenor
voice; it is now necessary to know
what are his aptitudes and his
knowledge of music; qualities upon
which one can only pronounce after
having studied the subject at least
during one or two months' lessons,
after which an honest professor can
give his advice.
He seems rather old
to undertake the necessary studies
for a theatrical career, and is of
ordinary physique, therefore I think
that before having him abandon a
manual trade which procures him
a means of subsistence, it is necessary
to act with extreme prudence, and I
repeat, that his professor alone, can
frankly express himself upon it
to Mr. Frick.
