    "I am writing to you on behalf of the South Warnborough Village Fete Committee to thank you and the other member of Elite Syncopations for the wonderful music you played throughout the afternoon of our fete. Recently we had a meeting at which everyone was asked what they thought of the fete this year and to a man they all said that your ragtime music was the best feature. So we did want to underline our appreciation to you and the other members of the band and ask that you would pass on our grateful thanks to all concerned."
