Transcription of the letter	Ref. ES/GJ 5^th June, 1950. Mr. Paul Sacher, Schoenenberg, Pratteln (Basel) Switzerland. Dear Mr. Sacher, I have been away a lot and have to apologise that I could not, therefore, answer some of your letters before. Today I am referring to your letters of the 8^th, 19^th, 26^th and 30^th May. Let us proceed in order. Your letter of 8^th May: I was terribly sorry that I had to disappoint you by not having our score of “PERSEPHONE” ready in time. Actually we had to return the press proofs to Paris and the music is going [...] Martinu - “SINFONIA CONCERTANTE”: The errors are already corrected in the score which I sent you but it is quite possible that you will find other doubtful instances. In this case Martinu schould be consulted and I leave it to you whether you would prefer to write him yourself. I myself am quite prepared to write to Martinu again if you send me a list with the queries. [...] Erwin Stein
