Content and physical description

Content	Robert Vannoy thanks Miloš Šafránek for his letter, has already written to the publisher Paul Hamlyn [about Šafránek's biography of Bohuslav Martinů] and has prepared a letter for Charlotte Martinů. RV also writes extensively about his admiration for Czech music. He also admires Bohuslav Martinů. RV marvels at the Czech language and understands why Czech operas are not much performed abroad, and why Martinů therefore composed JULIET first in French and then in Czech. RV admires the Czech landscape and hopes to visit Czechoslovakia one day. The photograph of the "castle" on the cover of SINFONIETTA LA JOLLA inspired him to paint his own pictures. RV hopes that the MŠ will publish Martin's "American Diaries" in the USA. RV will get Melos magazine and looks forward to his book on BM theatre.
