Handwritten by Winifred Ashby on the score : Dear Dr. Smith. With the approach of my 90th birthday I thought I should get together and edit the various pieces of music I wrote in my senility, some of them under your direction. I like them myself and some of my friends do too. I hope you will find them at least interesting as late blooming specimens. Sincerely, Winifred Ashby
