Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů is glad that Karel Šebánek received the parcels. BM sends a voucher for a transcription of HER O MARIA. He is pleased that the scores are being copied. He hopes that he will get them and the material. He has sent a notarized request for money from OSA to Prague, as recommended by KS. He needs to arrange contracts with Boosey & Hawkes so that everything doesn't get delayed like this. He doesn't know if he will stay with them. He also has an offer from Schott, but then again that's [working with] Assotiated Music Publishers. The matter will be decided in the next few days. BM likes B&H, but he doesn't think they do much. He will tell Ernst Roth what KS is writing about, he is supposed to write everything that matters to him. BM is still hoping that it would still work [signing the contract]. Definitely need to make some arrangements for JULIETTE, someone has to take care of it, BM can't do it himself. Even though he has lost a lot of time, the chances are still great. KS is to send a dictionary when he can. He would like to buy one, there is nothing like it available in America.
