Stěžuje si na chladné počasí. Píše, co se dověděl - Rudy [Firkušný] se prý v Austrálií nudí a prý umřel starý pan Mannes. BM konečně trochu přibral. Je zvědav, jak se Frank rozhodne s cestou, jestli se potkají. Uvažuje nad situací (a repertoárem) v Metropolitní opeře. Neví, které noty má Frankovi poslat a vysvětluje, že jich moc nemá, a co má, to rychle rozdá, zájemců je mnoho a kopie jsou drahé. S sebou noty ani nebral, pošle mu něco až po návratu. S Prahou omezí kontakty, není na ně spolehnutí. Upozorňuje Franka, aby domů psal opatrně kvůli censuře.

He 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.
