Sure enough on looking over the piracy and noticing the imprint Stravinsky "suddenly looked disgusted and said 'they have no right -- I gave them no permission -- I will not sign this one' and handed it back much to the curiosity of the crowd. Then I handed him the Boosey & Hawkes Octet for wind instruments. He again looked it over closely.then turned the pages.looked pleased and signed saying; 'Yes I will sign this one.' and he did with a flourish!.beamed and returned the book. BLESS HIM.Vera later added 'and Vera.'" In addition to the note a printed invitation to the event on a 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inch card and a promotional brochure for the exhibition are laid in.
