Lettre de recommandation pour la fille cantatrice de Mrs. McGuinness, élève de Lydia Opienska-Barblan, qui s'est produite quelque temps auparavant pour Paderewski à Riond-Bosson.
«Dear Mrs. McGuiness, some time ago your charming daughter has been kind enough to sing for me in my home. It is a pleasure to assure you that I enjoyed it immensely.
»The beautiful phrasing, which is certainly a product of prolonged studies under the guidance of the outstanding teacher, Mrs. Barblan-Opienska, impressed me most favourably.
»The voice of Miss McGuinness is extremely pleasant, tough yet not quite mature. I think that if your daughter continues her studies she may obtain excellent artistic results and finally meet with a success.
»With kindest regards I am, dear Mrs. McGuinness, yours very sincerely.»
