Content and physical description

Content	He asks for Firkušný's opinion on "Invocations" (Ikantations). He would like to compose them in two movements to avoid a formal piano concerto. He asks Firkušný whether "18 minutes" would be too short for the programme, however, and whether he should add a slow movement. He is in the second half of the composition and waits for Firkušný's opinion. He greets him very much and sends his regards from Charlotte Martinů as well.
