December 28, 1946.

Dear Mr. Merritt,

I finished the quartet and I will send you the score in somme days. I would like to know about the copy of parts, do you take care of it? Please, let me know about it and also if the copy of parts is made of the transparent paper first, to have the possibilities make several copys, I will need somme for myself and I would pay the expense for my copys.

I send you all my greetings and wishes for Happy New Year.

Sincerely

yours

B. Martinu
