Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů agrees with the terms and conditions and sends the signed contract. He also sends the score of LA BAGARRE, yet he needs it for copying. He sends the piano pieces FILM EN MINIATURE, the full score and the piano score of WHO IS THE MOST POWERFUL IN THE WORLD, yet at the moment he does not have the THE REVOLT available, it is at the theatre in Prague. The score of HALF-TIME is in Paris so that the work can be performed. They should let him know when they will begin printing the quartet, since he wants to have the precise tempos. He asks for advance payments, he needs money for his further stay in Paris. He is working on a comic opera-revue (with J. Löwenbach). He asks whether they could provide him with a contact to a modern German or Viennese poet or librettist (for a ballet), since he cannot find anyone. He would like to have something that could be published everywhere, not only in Czechoslovakia. He gives his address in Polička.
