Dr. Kent, <br />
<br />
    I will not hesitate to tell you that the check you had sent to me arrived right on time! Thanks again for saving me!!!<br />
    Today, Pierre Monteux himself asked me to return next year. He wants me to perform the Mozart Bassoon Concerto at one of his concerts! Can you imagine!? Me!!!! Monteux-Concerto!!!<br />
    Since you are well aware of the problems and conflicts I was confronted with in Baltimore, I won’t elaborate on my decision to leave Peabody. I wish now things had worked out differently. The only consolation I can receive having decided to leave, is knowing that you are behind me 100%.<br />

P.S. By the way, the check was made out for $40.00.]]></dcterms:description>
