From Paul Bierley, noted biographer, official biographer of John Philip Sousa, and whose books are the main source for the creation of “Oh Mr. Sousa!”

Dear Mr. Malucelli:

I normally take care of my husband Paul’s correspondence, but he hoped to be able to write you himself to thank you for your thoughfulness in sending him your “Oh Mr. Sousa.” Since Paul’s stroke, it has been very difficult and frustrating for him to write, hence he did not accomplish his plan to personally send you his thanks and appreciation.

Paul is delighted with your script and hopes he will have the opportunity to see the production. We both enjoyed the recording of the production, giving us an idea of how cleverly the scenes and music are presented.

Thank you for bringing Mr. Sousa “to life” again. The splendid reviews indicate he is still a wonderful entertainer more than seventy years after his death, thanks to your creative presentation of his life and music.

Sincerely,

Pauline Bierley
Mrs. Paul Bierley

Dear Ken:

Many, many thanks for sending the DVD of "Oh Mr. Sousa!"
which I enjoyed very much. This entire show is
exceedingly clever. Quote me of that, if you like.

Sincerely,
Paul
