Content and physical description
ContentBM wanted to see SK on Sunday but he had a visitor. He asked if SK had any new information regarding the composition for his anniversary with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. BM would be happy to write it for him but needs to know in advance. He works quickly, but the idea needs to mature in his mind for a long time before he starts writing. The Martins love being in a country where BM can write beautiful compositions. He thanks SK again for his support.

BM would have been pleased to meet SK in New York on Sunday, but had visitors. He would like to ask if SK has information on the subject of a new composition for Koussevitzky's anniversary with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, which SK had previously mentioned. BM is happy to write it for SK, but he needs to know in advance. He works quickly but must reflect a long time to establish the form in his mind before beginning work. The Martins are enjoying the country, where BM can write beautiful compositions. He thanks SK again for his support in America.
