Mr. Bohuslav Martinů

24 West 58th Street

New York, N. Y.

Dear Mr. Martinů:

Miss Smith, of Boosey & Hawkes, writes that she has shown you the reviews of the Rhapsody-Concerto which was very well received by our audience and beautifully played by Mr. Veissi. I am enclosing a copy of our program book for your files.

Mr. Clarence Metcalf, former Director of the Cleveland Public Library, tells me that you left a manuscript score of a piano concerto dedicated to Juliana [sic] Aranyi with him when you visited Cleveland. This score is now in the Cleveland Public Library and Mr. Metcalf is wondering whether it may remain in the permanent collection of the library.

Sincerely yours,

George H. L. Smith
