Content and physical description
ContentFOUR SONGS OF MARY cannot be corrected from lithography. He needs a manuscript, which they are to request from Vinohrady Hlahol (K. Šejna)
Sends his life dates and several titles of choral pieces [see list of pieces below]
They are to look for the score of CONCERTINA [FOR KL. TRIO AND SM. ORCHESTRA], which K. B. Jirák, it may be in the courier section.
From Eschig they got 500Kč for the CONCERT FOR CLAVIER AND ORCHESTRA No. 1? What about the materials for the LEGEND OF ST. DOROTH [THE SPALICE], the NAMING OF THE LORD [PLAYS ABOUT MARY] and the march from VESELOHRY ON THE BRIDGE? The BBC won't be playing the first two until Christmas, so it's possible to offer everything. They are due to announce a decision on the release of CONCERTA GROSSO. Martinů is coming to Prague for the prem. JULIETTA, so they will arrange it in person. He will be happy to write other choruses if Melantrich wants to.
