Omlouvá se, že neodpověděl hned; koncert [Koncert pro klavír a orchestr č. 2] je hotov a připraven, musí jen doplnit druhý klavír; bude potřebovat partituru ještě pár dní pro dirigenta Philippe Gauberta, pak bude volná; jedná se o to, zda si Filharmonie pořídí materiál svůj – Stanislav Novák mu řekl, že ano, což by bylo lepší, měli by pak dva materiály – a zda opíšou také klavírní part, aby ho mohl Firkušný studovat; má zde sice opis, ale ten si nechá pro prázdniny M. Šafránek k práci; prosí ho, aby to vyřídil; sám by teď druhou kopii klavírního partu dělat nemohl, pracuje pro Ruský balet [Paridův soud] a premiéra má být na podzim; kdyby Filharmonie opsala materiál a klavírní part, tak pošle rukopis buď Firkušnému nebo na Filharmonii; chtěl by se ucházet na mistrovské škole o místo po Sukovi, prosí ho o propagandu, kdyby mluvil s profesory konzervatoře, které zná, hlavně prof. Vilém Kurz; jak ví, je stále mimo Prahu, mohlo by se stát, že by na něj zapomněli, děkuje za pomoc; myslí, že se mu koncert bude líbit, později napíše nový jen pro něj [č. 3]; je rád, že se mu Hry o Marii líbily.

He apologizes for not answering immediately; the concerto [Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No. 2] is finished and ready, he just needs to add a second piano; he will need the score for a few more days for the conductor Philippe Gaubert, then it will be free; they are discussing whether the Philharmonic will get their own material - Stanislav Novák told him yes, which would be better, they would then have two materials - and whether they will also copy the piano part so that Firkušný can study it; he has a copy, but he will keep it for the holidays for M. Šafránek for work; he asks him to sort it out; he could not make a second copy of the piano part himself now, he is working for the Russian Ballet [Parida's Court] and the premiere is to be in the autumn; if the Philharmonic would copy the material and the piano part, he would send the manuscript either to Firkušný or to the Philharmonic; he would like to apply for a place at the Master's School after Suk; he asks him to propagandize him if he would speak to the professors of the Conservatory whom he knows, especially prof. Vilém Kurz; as he knows, he is still out of Prague, it might happen that he would be forgotten, he thanks them for their help; he thinks he will like the concerto, later he will write a new one just for him [No. 3]; he is glad that he liked the Plays about Maria.
