Content and physical description
ContentThey have found out that they still possess the parts of STRING QUARTET NO. 7, as well as the print folios of the score and parts. In his letter dated 16 May [1958], David Adams asked Bohuslav Martinů where they should send these materials, yet Gertrude Smith has not found any reply from BM, hence she is inquiring into the matter - BM should write regarding the availability of the material, about the rights, why the material should be sent back to BM. Last October, they conveyed certain materials for the CONCERTO DA CAMERA FOR VIOLIN AND STRING ORCHESTRA... to Associated Music Publishers (she lists the materials). Furthermore, BM should let them know about the availability of the following compositions: QUARTET FOR OBOE, VIOLIN, CELLO AND PIANO, and THREE CZECH DANCES (also mentioned in DA’s letter dated 16 May 1958).
