In folder ‘Marjory Kannedy-Fraser Lectures, Part 2’, the R. Strauss lecture is decayed and incomplete, with many loose bits of paper. In folder ‘Marjory Kannedy-Fraser Lectures, Part 3’, the recital programme ‘Mrs Kennedy Fraser’s Lecture Recitals, The Second Recital of the Series [...] Saturday Afternoon, January 12, 1907 [...] “A Visit to Bayreuth” and “Wagner’s Parsifal”’, appended to the ‘Wagner & Handel’ lecture, is ripped in two parts and would need to be repaired.
