Elgar (Edward) Autograph letter signed ('Edward Elgar') to Alfred Littleton, reading "The men's voice things have been delayed so long that I fear they will be published too late for people to include them in big winter schemes. They are anxious to see them at Morecambe and to include them in the festival programme. I am rather afraid that the score having the two languages together may be found difficult; would it be better to have an English edition only in type such as the singers are accustomed to? Perhaps you would look into the matter sometimes if publication is likely to be put off for some time, you might let the Morecambe people see a proof so that they can decide if the things shall be put in as a whole or a selection, or if they shall be for quartet or chorus in their competition", four pages, small 4to, Craeg lea, Wells Road, 4 August 1903; together with a letter to unknown recipient asking "Could the printing of T.T.B.B. things be hastened? I am asked a great deal about things for next season's competition and have suggested these songs - shortly people will be wanting to see them before deciding. I think they will include the whole set at Morecambe", three pages, 4to, 7 May 1903; and two other handwritten notes (4)
