Content and physical description
ContentFirst, he sends Christmas and New Year's wishes.
Right after Christmas he sends the solo violin part [from CONCERTA DA CAMERA]. Bohuslav Martinů asks to send Perotino's Sederunt principes from the Universal Edition catalogue. Is it a choral work? Do they have anything else by Perotino? Can they send him all the choral stuff by Mozart (except the Requiem) in pocket score and credit him?
He got the contract [for CONCERTO DA CAMERA] from London [from the UE branch]. He apologizes for the delay, but is awaiting the score [CONCERTA] from Boosey & Hawkes, and will correct the piano part immediately afterwards.
Asks for address of UE agent in Paris so that he can return Janáček [score of Jenufa].
