Mr Walter Hinrichsen
President
C.F. Peters Corporation
1209 Carnegie Hall
881 Seventh Ave.
New York 19, N.Y.

Dear Mr Hinrichsen:
I am not in the position to make this contract about our publication of the Five Orchestra Pieces. My lawyer would ask at least $50 if I come to him, because he is not an expert on copyrights. He can read a contract, but I doubt that he can make one as concerns copyright affairs. But if you have nothing the like, then I would find it best if you would take the contract formula which Edward B. Marks Company use (Mr Greissle) use[!], and add our special points. I would agree with this contract, because it does not contain any traps like the contract of Schirmer and similar companies which I will not sign. But this seems to me the easiest way for you.
I sent your letter to the engraver. It is not the Golden West Company itself, it is a very good engraver, a German, who has worked for every firm in Germany and who also seems to be excellent. You will very soon see the copy which he will deliver. He makes an excellent impression on me, and I am sure you will also like what he does. His address is: Oscar Herbert, 4557 Tujunga Ave., North Hollywood, Calif.
I hope to hear form you before you go to Europe, and in the mean time, I am with cordial greetings,
Sincerely yours,

R.H.
