Mr. Paul Sacher,

Schoenenberg,

Pratteln, Basel,

Switzerland.

Dear Mr. Sacher,

               We have just been informed that Martinu is writing to Kubelik concerning SINFONIA CONCERTANTE and I am glad to tell you that in consequence we shall hold back the material (which is now being prepared) until your performance on December 8^th.

               There remains the Paris broadcast, about which I wrote you. We have no further information, but I am writing again to our Paris agent to get the matter cleared up.

                                                           With kind regards,

                                                                          Yours sincerely,

                                                                                         [podpis]

                                                                          ERWIN STEIN.
