Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů thanks Pavel Deutsch for his offer of financial support and offers in exchange to dedicate a manuscript or a new composition to him. BM feels lonely after his return to Prague. Should PD meet [Ernest] Ansermet and the Desarzens, who have commissioned a work from Martinů [DUO CONCERTANTE FOR TWO VIOLINS AND ORCHESTRA], when he is in Lausanne, he should give them his regards. BM asks if PD might not also be able to help out Vítězslava Kaprálová, his student, both a conductor and composer. Kaprálová is a most gifted talent and conducted the BBC Orchestra in London. BM thanks him in advance for her and for himself.
