Content and physical description
ContentBM gives information about the books Procházka was interested in: in the next few days he will send him a publication on Debureau; he will also be happy to buy him an edition of Chopin's correspondence, but he needs to make sure that Procházka wants it despite the high price and that the books will not be sent back to him for any reason, as was the case the last time he sent non-political books to his friends in Prague. He will read the book about Debureau himself - one of his comedies inspired him to write the opera Theatre Behind the Gate. He probably has the draft in boxes somewhere in Paris; if he can get to them and find the book, he'll send it to Procházka as well.
