Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů informs Paul and Maja Sacher that he has received news from America and that he has the opportunity to obtain a visa. He questions the possibility of staying in Europe.
He asks Sacher to get boat tickets for him and Charlotte Martinů and have them deposited in BM's name in Lisbon. It is extremely difficult to get tickets in France and the situation is becoming more complicated. PS is to reply to the writer promptly as to whether he will do this for him.
All BM's and ChM's friends, including Charles Munch, have returned to Paris and they are not in touch with them as the correspondence is not working. It is the same with the manuscripts.
BM was still thinking about the material of the CONCERT FOR PIANO AND ORCHESTRA [No. 2]: he asks PS to have it delivered and keep it with him.
