Content and physical description
ContentBM sends the promised songs and apologizes for keeping OV waiting so long. From the lyrics OV sent him, he chose two folk ballads that are closest to his heart. He also thinks Wolker is beautiful, but feels that everything has already been set to music. He briefly describes his approach to the text and its musicalisation. He describes how the songs should be interpreted - they are more like melodic recitations. He is curious to see how she will like them. He doesn't have time for an orchestra right now, and then there are complications with the materials as well. He asks OV to have a copy made for him, he leaves her an autograph. He gives his Paris address.
