Content and physical description
ContentJosef Schieszl does not like to write "the grave has barely closed" over Josef Suk, but he would not like to miss the appointment of his successor. In Paris he met Bohuslav Martinů, with whom he is in touch. From a conversation with him, he knows that he wants to return to Prague so that he can work freely there. JS does not know the situation at the Conservatoire, but believes that BM is a candidate who hardly has a rival in this country. If Jan Krčmář agrees, he asks him to take BM on. He admits that a selfish reason speaks from him as well, since BM has been receiving the support of Mr. President [T.G. Masaryk] for years and the support will be stopped "because of the known situation". BM would thus be in an awkward situation.
