JOHN PHILIP SOUSA
John Philip Sousa signs a typed letter of thanks for the help during the tour to his road manager for the season ending 1928.
Typed Letter signed: "John Philip Sousa", 1p, 8¼x10¾. New York City, New York, 1928 December 17. On letterhead of Sousa and His Band to William Schneider, New York City, New York. In full: "At this time - the closing of our tour of 1928, I desire to commend you for your fidelity and the able manner in which you have managed the fortune of my band. It has been a long and hard season but, in all matters where judgment and good business acumen were required, you measured up fully. I sincerely trust that your future will be filled with success and, incidentally, plenty of money. Believe me, Most sincerely yours". John Philip Sousa (1854-1932) is known chiefly for writing over 100 marches, including such classics as The Stars and Stripes Forever and The Washington Post, earning him the title of "The March King". Sousa, who had studied violin and trombone during his childhood, joined the U.S. Marine Band at age 13, playing with the group from 1867-1872. After later playing in popular orchestras, he returned in 1880 as director of the Marine Band, which is called the "President's Own". In addition to his many musical compositions, Sousa wrote five books, including three novels and an autobiography. Fold creases not near signature. Staple holes at upper left corner. Lightly creased at corners. Fine condition.
