  • Bernd 0. Rachold, Erich Wolfgang Korngold Society, Hamburg. "Thank you again for regular sending of the Lehmann newsletter which gives me the opportunity to ask you once more for an answer to this letter." [copy of 1989 letter to Lehmann Archives enclosed]. The earlier letter to the Lehmann Archive (which apparently did not receive an answer) proposed to trade Korngoldiana for Lehmanniana. At the time Herr Rachold wrote, the Archive materials were mostly in boxes, unsorted and uncataloged. The holdings are now organized, and Curator of Manuscripts, Dr. Elizabeth Witherell recently replied that though she had not found any Korngold correspondence, she would appreciate copies of any Lehmann-related material that the Korngold Archive possesses.
  • Sherman Zelinsky of Manchester, New Hampshire, writes of his appreciation of this newsletter and suggests, "...for non CD'-ers such as I, perhaps you might also list cassette availability... Also, it might be of interest to readers to have a brief bio telling when and how YOU first became interested in Lehmann, her art, and her discography..." He also asks if anyone knows if Lehmann ever sang in New Hampshire; he heard her in Bosron and in San Francisco. Well, you will find the brief cassette listing in this edition along with LP and CD information. Everyone is invited to send us information about available recordings.
  • Michael Tanner, England "Many thanks for sending me the latest number of the LL League newsletter, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. Months ago I wrote [to the LL Archive] to say that I would very much like the LP set; but I have heard nothing. I would be extremely grateful if you could let me know and ask them to tell me how much to pay for it, sent air mail, and I will send an International Money Order. I'm sorry to ask you to do this, but I am desperately keen to have the set.

We have mentioned this LP set elsewhere, but Mr. Tanner is not alone in finding no reply to his letters. When I checked with Special Collections I was told that perhaps the letters haven't been addressed: Lotte Lehmann Archive c/o Special Collections, The Library, University of California Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA 93106; Telehone (805) 893-3062 -GH
