Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů informs Jan Zrzavý that Charlotte Martinů will arrive in Prague around 20.4. BM himself cannot come, because he is still weak after his accident. The recovery will take several months. Charlotte Martinů will be staying with Anna Masarykova. They will write to Zrzavy with a specific date later. JZ should not be angry with [Alain] Diviš, Diviš likes him and tried to help Zrzavý. Perhaps JZ will get a job in Prague, although his profession is to paint and not to teach. BM can't work yet and has a long moment. He says that his compositions are being played in Prague - he would like to hear DVOJKONCERT, played by Sacher, and KYTICI, which BM has not heard yet.
