Content and physical description
ContentBM has the opportunity to perform the Field Mass in Scola Cantorum [!], so he asks JL if the English translation is ready and if the orchestral materials are already available. If the material could not be sent in time, 'they would possibly make a translation here Pi Rychtarikova'; JL writes because he does not know if Šebánek is in Prague. BM asks JL to forward this query to Melantrich for prompt handling; JL is also to phone the Philharmonic and give BM's correct address ("they keep sending me letters to somewhere on Broadway"); "I am working on a concerto for Ruda, I hope it will be ready in time"; BM had lunch with Ansermet, who will be opening tomorrow 5. Symphony, Toscanini was at the rehearsal and was "totally exited, congratulated me"; "Ansermet is playing it also in London and is playing it on his tour here, Rodzinsky is also giving it in Chicago in June".
