            Dear Sir
I had the pleasure of laying your letter before the Directors of the Philharmonic Society at their last Meeting and am desired to return you their best acknowledgements for so highly flattering a mark of your esteem.
They beg me to add that they feel particularly gratified by the presentation of the Score of your Sinfonia and shall consider themselves much honored by the proposed Dedication of so very distinguished a Composition
I remain Dear Sir Yours very faithfully W. Watts
Secretary
