Autograph Letter Signed to Mrs Wappenhaus apologising for not having visited “we had set out for a call upon you upon our arrival, but as it was nearly three and we had had no dinner yet and had to rest a little before the concert, we turned round half way and had to give it up. I so hoped to see one of you and went away really disappointed. We left Weimar early this morning. Now perhaps we may be in Weimar soon again and then I hope for a little longer time. Trusting that these line will find you and your daughters in good health...”, 3 sides small 8vo., Erfurt, 20th January

Henschel was a close friend of Johannes Brahms. His first wife Lillian was also a singer. He was the first conductor of both the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Royal Scottish National Orchestra. He taught at the Institute of Musical Art in New York City.
