Clarence Cameron White had been a music student at Oberlin when he received a letter from Coleridge-Taylor, who had been prompted to write when Loudin had told him about White. Coleridge-Taylor's violin compositions became part of White's repertoire and White welcomed the visitor to Washington in 1904. When White and his wife came to England he studied theory with Coleridge-Taylor and played with the String Players’ Club. The Chicago Defender of 8 May 1909 published a letter from White marked 31 Talbot Road, London, 17 April 1909. From Southport in Lancashire Coleridge-Taylor mailed a postcard on 28 May 1909 to White at Talbot Road adding ‘Kind regards to all at 31’ and Jessie wrote to White on 30 March 1910 enclosing tickets to hear William Read play her husband's Ballade and requesting White to rehearse with him. Her letter ended ‘kind regards & to Dr Alcindor’. The Whites left after two years in England.

The Aldridges's housekeeper Jo Ritchie sent White a note on 8 April 1910 acknowledging a photograph he had given her as a keepsake. Soon after his return he received a four-page letter from John Alcindor. Dated 1 July 1910 it accused White of abusing the doctor's hospitality. The doctor had loaned the American money on the understanding that income from recitals on his return would enable the loan to be repaid.
