Content and physical description

Content	Martinů sends some of the requested reviews, programs, photos and completed card catalogues [i.e., cards attached]. They can make an interpretation out of it. The painter V. Rada will bring it to Prague. Martinů asks how the CONCERTINO FOR PIANO TRIO AND SMITH ORCHESTRA went. Did Mr. Jirák give the manuscript to Melantrich? How did the negotiations [for the performance of THE GAMES OF MARIA] in Olomouc go? They already have the score from ND. Martinů will arrange everything himself regarding JULIETTA. Martinů sends the promised budget from the Industrial Printing House. They are to keep all criticisms and programmes. [Martinů has transcribed below the text two reviews in French: on his "Quintette" [BIRD QUINTET or SMITH QUINTET] from the Revue des Geneve and a mention of Martinů from the Scheizerische Musikzeitung - transcribed in French]
