Content and physical description
ContentHe complains about the cold weather. He writes what he has learned - Rudy [Firkušný] is bored in Australia and old Mr. Mannes is said to have died. BM has finally put on some weight. He wonders how Frank will decide about the trip if they meet. He ponders the situation (and repertoire) at the Metropolitan Opera. He doesn't know which sheet music to send Frank and explains that he doesn't have much, and what he does have he'll give away quickly; there are many takers and copies are expensive. He hasn't even brought any sheet music with him, he will send him some when he returns. He will limit his contacts with Prague, he can't rely on them. He warns Frank to write home carefully because of censorship.
