Content and physical description
ContentBM thanks for the letter and the messages from the Ministry - but he cannot come for health reasons, he certainly won't risk it. Maybe he will send Charlotte to the Festival. He has almost all the required documents, except for the training certificate. He has only just sent the score of the Fifth Symphony through the Consulate because he hasn't had clear news from the Philharmonic. He gives instructions on how to reproduce the materials - he also sent a packet with transparent paper and describes the advantages of this method. He can't find his original songs (?), perhaps it is with Firkušný. Shebanek wrote to him that translations into English are expensive for them. ASCAP left, he had none of it. He doesn't know how it will be with the flat in Prague, he would prefer to be somewhere outside the city away from people. Charlotte could look there and Divis could live there for the time being.
