18^th October 1950

Dear Mr. Stein,

                Thank you very much for your letter of 16^th October.

                Martinu, SINFONIA CONCERTANTE: I am very glad, I discovered the mistake so soon and could immediately give you notice of it. I now expect the new solo parts and the rest of the material which you announced for the end of this month.

                Strawinky, PERSEPHONE: Thank you so much for the trouble you took in order to let me have the manuscript score from Messrs Carrisch.

                Bartok, CANTATA PROFANA: I shall be very glad to receive the score with the English text.

                                                                                                                                              Sincerely yours

Dr. Erwin Stein Esq.
