Transcription of the letter	AIRMAIL September 6, 1957 Mr. Bohuslav Martinu 62 Rue Pierre Charon Paris VIII France Dear Mr. Martinu: All of us are looking forward with considerable anticipation to the performance of your new work which was commissioned for the 40th Anniversary of The Cleveland Orchestra. It would be most helpful to our program annotator if you would send in your own words whatever description, analysis or comments you would care to make about the work. Also, could you send us any sketches or drafts of the work in your own hand for our archives? This material would be a valued souvenir of our anniversary year and would also be interesting for display on the occasion of the first performance of your work. Kindest regards. Sincerely, Manager ABB:hk
