Děkuje za dopis, v N. Y. se už nezdrželi; zde je to moc hezké, na pláž jezdí lodí na protější ostrov, lidi jsou moc milí; dal se do práce, píše pro Sachera houslový koncert [CONCERTO DA CAMERA], čte a učí se anglicky; vše je tu daleko dražší než v N.Y., mají malý domek se zahrádkou, pokojík dole a nahoře malou koupelnu, je tu dost slušné piano, které hraje dle počasí – když je hezky, tak hraje, ale to jsou na pláži, a když prší a je vlhko, tak nehraje; jak mu to dopadlo v Ch.?, jistě dobře; mluvil s Thomasem Beechamem o DVOJKONCERTU?, nechá to všechno až po prázdninách, když to neumístí, tak počká na dobrou možnost; kdyby Firkušný přijel, najdou mu něco v hotelu, u nich je to malé, jede se sem z N. Y. ráno v 9,45 (Central) až do Woods-Hale, potom lodí do Oak-Bluffes na ostrov Marthas Vineyard, a autobusem do Edgartownu; Šebánek psal, že opustil Besedu a je v Orbisu; v Londýně je Lovry Kunderová; má spisy z Marseille? Od p. [Ismond?]?; co píše Josef Brumlík?; co jeho turné? ; ať nezapomene umístit koncert. Zařídí to s Šebánkem.
