Content and physical description
ContentMiroslav Venhoda hopes that the Martin family in Polička is healthy and together. MV was recently in Brno, where he met Zdeněk Zouhar. He is glad that they explained the loss of the letter and also hopes that the letter will one day be found. MV telephoned Bohuslav Martinů and asked him to compose a piece for the Prague Teachers' Singing Association. But BM is now busy until February, as he is composing an opera [GREEK PASSIONS]. MV recently discussed this situation with Andrlík and later with Šaur. He was advised to ask the Martin family if they had any male choruses, e.g. songs to folk words. MV still has several mixed and women's choirs with him, which presumably belong to the Martin family. MV copied them so he could record the songs with the mixed choir.
