Typed Letter Signed, Hollywood, California, April 29, 1968, to pianist Eugene Istomin. “If that good fortune should befall us (of having Senator McCarthy in the White House) I promise to write the trio. Please give my non-political best wishes to Isaac Stern (I hope he is in better health now), Leonard Rose, and take the same for yourself.” Particularly interesting because Eugene George Istomin formed the Istomin-Stern-Rose Trio with Isaac Stern and Leonard Rose, and made many recordings, particularly of music by Beethoven, Brahms and Schubert. He won a Grammy Award in 1970 with the Istomin-Stern-Rose Trio for their recordings of Beethoven.
