Apthorp with the regards of Arthur Foote Sept. 22. 84 [?]. Title page also bears the stamp of the noted pianist Ernest Schelling who was Paderewski's only pupil and who started the children's concerts at the New York Philharmonic.
Oddly, the individual parts are labeled "Op. 3" though the Piano Trio is listed both in Foote's catalogue and on the cover as "Op. 5". There is no record of an "Op. 3".
