"Thank you so much for the two photographs . . . . I will keep them among my precious possessions, hoping to be able to meet once again the original, which I find much better than the photographs.
"Thank you for the news about La Scala. I was very sorry for the good and dear Rosina. Let us hope that she will get over the disappointment and that her great talent will be recognized in time.
"We went to Germany and it was a complete triumph. They say that in this opera, I really reached the zenith. Modesty aside, I can tell you that in the last act I brought everyone to tears.
"Congratulations on your new contract. I wish you much success and much money. . . .
"Warmest wishes and a big kiss on your cheek--as delicious as bread."
Caruso ended his 1909 tour of Germany in Berlin, performing in Pagliacci, Bohème, and Aida on October 20, 22, and 24.
