Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů finally received a message from Washington and also from Karel Šebánek. He is glad that the shipment [of JULIETTE material] has been processed and hopes to receive the material soon. He thanks KS for his help. KS is to send again the name and address of the gentleman from the Ministry of Information to whom he wrote. BM is in the mountains and would like to thank him. Perhaps he could also help with the HER O MARIA material. BM responds to KS's mention in the letter that BM was to "speak out against them". BM has no recollection of making any statement, nor did he sign anything. He speculates that perhaps some European radio or Voice used his compositions or name, but knows nothing. KS is to write and clear the whole thing up. BM wonders what money he has in the bank in the alien account. BM doubts that Boosey & Hawkes will agree to KS's terms. BM doesn't get royalties or fees anyway. Everything goes to Prague. KS has to write how much he needs for current expenses from BM's account, she writes him a receipt. He'll send the tobacco when he gets to a bigger city. KS is to look for Gogol [Courtship / Marriage]. He asks about the cost of photocopies of Plays of Mary, how much time would be needed for this and whether the sheets could be bound.
