Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů thanks for the letter and news from Polička and for the article. He is not familiar with the news that reaches him about [5.] SYMPHONY. What does František Bartos mean by that? BM writes to Karel Novák about it, so they are to arrange and report back to him. From the President's office, the consulate only received a letter authorizing the money for repatriation, but it came in January. However, the consulate would have paid for his repatriation anyway, and he is not yet able to drive. It would probably be a Ministry of Education item. It looks like they wouldn't give him anything for the [5th] SYMPHONY. He will send something about the symphony, but everything is still straining him. Arrange with KN a possible trip for Charlotte Martinů to the [Prague Spring] Festival.
