The Consul General informs the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Bohuslav Martinů's injury and state of health. He began a composition course in Lenox, Mass. in early July, but suffered a severe concussion at the end of the month. He was visited in the hospital by friends Rudolf Firkušný and Jan Löwenbach, and doctors are optimistic, but treatment will take several months. He cannot return to Prague, the consulate is trying to help the composer with routine matters. BM's Violin Concerto [No. 2], performed by Mischa Elman, was a resounding success at the Lenox Festival, and the composer is now preparing to compose a SMITH Quartet [No. 6?] and a Piano Concerto [No. 3] for R. Firkušný. A copy of this letter is also sent to the Ministry of Education and Enlightenment.
