Content and physical description
ContentSK congratulates BM on their success. BM should find a publisher in Europe. If he is going to edit himself, he should demand compensation for that, as well as a percentage of the sale and loan of parts. It's hard to recommend how much, but he thinks BM could demand 10% of each sale plus $200 plus 10% for La Bagarre. For Symphony [Rhapsody], the same percentage and $500. As SK's secretary wrote, La Bagarre was returned. BM's quintet will be performed in Boston on October 7.

SK congratulates BM on his success. He thinks that BM should find a publisher in Europe. If he does his own editing, he should ask for compensation for doing so, as well as a percentage of sales and rentals for the parts. It is difficult to recommend an amount, but he thinks that BM could ask for 10% of each sale and $200 plus 10% for La Bagarre. For Symphonie [La Rhapsodie], the same percentages and $500. As Koussevitzky's secretary has stated, the score and parts of La Bagarre have been returned. Martinů's Quintet will be played in Boston of Sunday, October 7.
