Content and physical description
ContentNikos Kazantzakis thanks Bohuslav Martinů for the sketch. He apologises for interfering with his work. He just wanted to make a few suggestions. But BM is the author of the composition, so all decisions are his. NK is eagerly awaiting his new plan and invites BM to tea on Saturday afternoon. NK likes to listen to the broadcast [of BM's music on the radio] and asks when he will hear the first notes of the GREEK PASSIONS.
