Content and physical description
ContentChristmas wishes with nostalgic memories of meetings together. He is surprised by the news of Vítězslav's engagement. He tries to compose, but his work is not successful. Inquires about the scholarship, what she has arranged for it so far in Prague. Continues the letter he writes from a small café, in memory of VK. "Supplement": reminisces over a cup of coffee. Reflects on their relationship with each other. Advises her to have a suite [Suita rustica] sent from Universalia. He observes the pre-Christmas rush on the streets and wonders what Christmas present to buy her. Tonight Pierre Fournier is playing his Duo [Duo No. 1 for violin and cello] at a baroness's house, so he hurries home to change for the gala.
