Bohuslav Martinů obdržel dopis z 15. [12. 1946] i telegram, čeká ale na dopis ohledně 5. SYMFONIE. Pokud již mají na [Pražské jaro] program hotový, nebude mu vadit, když ji tam neuvedou. Chtěl jim však symfonii věnovat a zajistit jim její první provedení. O novou skladbu jej žádal i Charles Munch. BM slyšel, že vyjednávají s Mischou Elmanem, ten ale bude drahý. Moc mu pomohl Vladimír Clementis. Nemají si dělat starosti s výlohami na jeho příjezd. Ještě se ale necítí plně zotavený a čeká na potvrzení od doktora, že může cestu podstoupit. Pokud by 5. SYMFONII nebylo možné v Praze uvést, má dát Karel Novák zprávu, aby ji mohl BM dát k provedení v [USA]. KN má vyřídit pozdravy od BM také Rafaelu Kubelíkovi, Václavu Talichovi a České filharmonii. Psaní ještě činí BM problémy.

Bohuslav Martinů has received the letter of 15th [December 1946] and the telegram, but he is waiting for a letter about the 5th SYMPHONY. If they already have the programme for [Prague Spring] ready, he won't mind if they don't include it. However, he wanted to dedicate the symphony to them and arrange for its first performance. Charles Munch also asked him for a new composition. BM had heard that they were negotiating with Mischa Elman, but he would be expensive. Vladimir Clementis helped him a lot. They don't have to worry about expenses for his arrival. However, he does not feel fully recovered yet and is waiting for confirmation from the doctor that he can make the trip. If the 5th SYMPHONY cannot be performed in Prague, Karel Novak is to give a report so that BM can have it performed in [USA]. KN is also to give BM's regards to Rafael Kubelík, Václav Talich and the Czech Philharmonic. Writing is still causing BM problems.
