Content and physical description
ContentHe apologizes, he left a message at the hotel and he didn't get it, they were waiting in the hotel next door; they will be in N.Y. about July 1, he will call him to meet him; Dimitri Mitropoulos has not seen him; if Firkušný could come to them, it would be the best solution; he is looking forward to the country and the island, now he is with Šafránek; what could be done with the Double Concert?, if he sees Jarmila Novotna to ask her to help him at Toscanini's; asks her which songs she would like to have orchestrated, to write her address; he is terribly lazy, even for writing; if he would like to write back at once, it is Saffranek, Oak Drive, Pleasantville, N. Y., but from Jan. 1 Halle-College. School Street, Edgartown, Massachusetts; asks for Jicinski's address; is Mr. Kohanski still in New York?
Transcription of the letter

Milý Rudo!



Bylo to zvoraný, nezlob se, nechal jsem ti vzkaz

v hotelu u té naší hezké slečny, a ona ti to

nedala, čekali jsme tě vedle v hotelu. Budeme

v N.Y. asi 1. července ale nevím jak dlouho a kdy

ale zkusím ti zatelefonovat abychom se sešli.

Jinak nic nového. Mitropo[u]la jsem neviděl a

od Bédi nedostanu nic, kdybys viděl Šmída zeptej se

ho na to. Kdybys mohl přijet k nám bylo by to

nejlepší řešení, já se už moc těším na

venkov a na ostrov, teď jsem u Š. a je tu

báječně, a doufám že se dostanu zase trochu

dohromady a shlížím se a myslím že začnu

pracovat. Přemejšlej co by se dalo dělat s

Double-concertem. Uvidíšli [sic] Novotnou řekni

jí že mi musí pomoci v Toscance a aby mi

napsala které by chtěla míti ty písně zorche-

strovány, napiš mi její adressu!
