MISSION BELLS.

The following letter accompanied a
musical manuscript sent by Marie
Louka. the distinguished composer, to
the Whitney Warner Company:
Lakewood, N. j., Dec. Is, 1911.
Whitney Warner Company,
131 West Forty first Street,
New York.
Gentlemen am sending you with
this the last of the five teaching pieces
that had promised to write this year.
l have named it EMISSION Bells. The
theme, and in fact the whole oompo-
sition, came to me as an inspiration
while travelling through California for
my health two years ago. travelled
most of the time in stage coaches, of
which there are still many left between
san Diego and San francisco. Icaw
the ruins of many of the old missions,
which one hundred years ago weae a
refuge and home for the worn trav-
eler, who could stay as long as he wish
cd and pay what he affore, and when he
went away took the blessings of the
Monks, those men of God who sacrificed
their lives for mankind in country in
mostly by the lawless Spaniards and
Mexicans. While almost all of these
buildings are in ruined state now, l
was very much impressed with the bells
which in four or five messions still re-
manned. These bells were formerly
rung at night to guide lost travellers.
One day while making trip on horse
back tn the foot of range of noun
tains with my companion and a guide
we lost our way. 1t was late in the
afternoon when we discovered this fact.
While bordering what to do we heard
the Ginning of sweet bells-three in
number, We judged from the sound
and following this, to US most welcome
sound, we came upon an Ursuline con-
vent, situated in most beautiful nat
ural park in the foothills of a long
range of mountains. AS we came up
close we could hear the soft tones of
an organ and the singing of the nuns.
1t was vesper time and was SO deeply
impressed by the beautiful scene that
forgot the predicament we were in.
We reined up our horses and stopped
until the chanting was over, and the
whole scene made such an impression
upon me that resolved to embody it
just as 1t then impressed me in mus
ical composition. This I have since
done, and | am submitting the manu-
script TO you under conditions that it be
named Mission Bells" and that short
description of this event IN my life be
inscribed on each copy. Kindly send
contracts and any other communica-
tions to my home in Philadelphia.
Yours very sincerely,
Maria Louka.
