Content and physical description
ContentSister Marie's recovery with the Prague people; perhaps there is something for J. (Jindřiška Martinů); Miroslav Venhoda was not entitled to the premiere, for the first time anyone can perform the choirs (MADRIGALS for mixed voices); "only a small choir of selected singers is needed, not a large choir"; Karel Šebánek wrote to him from Paris, he will not come, he would like to talk to him about various things; "I will limit everything with Prague again, they are unreliable and tactless... In short, as before"; he advises to burn all his letters, something in them might be of interest to "perhaps a historian someday, and they will eventually do it their way anyway"; history is made "according to what suits one's fancy"; urgings without response, he has not yet received the plates; they will certainly be sent to the wrong address; "do not send photos or anything from our archives to anyone"; he is interested in the liquidation of the "Melantrich Edition".
