Paul Sacher tells Alfred Schlee (UE) that he did not send Bohuslav Martinů the second part of the score of EPOS ON GILGAMES, which he received from the publisher, but his own complete score. Martinů no longer had a copy of his manuscript, so he was unable to proofread the piano excerpt. So now the publisher has the score that belongs to Sacher, and Martinů has the other.

Transcription of the letter

Er besass nämlich kein Exemplar seines Manuskriptes mehr, sodass er nicht in der Lage war, die Korrektur des Klavierauszuges vorzunehmen. Nun haben Sie die eine mir gehörende Partitur und Martinu die andere. [...]"
