Content and physical description
ContentHe thanks her for the letter, sends his greetings, along with Forman; they are running out of time, and are beginning to think about where they will move when they return, while the weather is nice, they want to stay in Long-Island, then to N.Y. for the winter.; if he knows of an apartment, let him know; more on the Toscanini question: he is contacting Jarmila Novotna, would like to meet Toscanini and would like Toscanini to look at the score of the Double Concerto, Bernard Wagenaar also wrote it; perhaps Firkušný could come for a few days, but there is no good piano here; it is wonderfully done in Berkshire, the orchestra is wonderful, also the soloists, he is glad he saw it, they were together with Ondříček; he has sent the violin concerto to Europe, perhaps Ruth Posselt or Krasner will play it, he has also made a piano lift; if he could find an apartment near here it would be good; he does not know whether he will be able to adapt here, but they are fine, they bathe, they ride; let him write what is new; Forman will stay till about 6. [9]. No longer has the energy to write to Jarmila himself, begs him to talk to her about it.
