Content and physical description
ContentAlice Michalaros apologizes to Bohuslav Martinů for the late reply. She has collected several Greek folk songs for him, including Cretan dances, as well as recordings of Cretan folk dances and songs. AM offered to visit BM and bring a small gramophone so that he could play all the songs. He suggests that she calls him on Wednesday or Thursday to arrange a meeting. She sends him her phone number. At the end of the letter he expresses his enthusiasm for his compositions, especially the symphonies. She is very proud to have met him. She hopes that the work on the opera [GREEK PASSIONS] is going well.
