Content and physical description
ContentJosef Wagner offers his condolences to Charlotte Martinů. He delayed sending the letter for a long time because of the language barrier. ChM is said to have visited Prague and Polička, so she must have looked at Bohuslav Martinů's birthplace, which is said to have been converted into a museum. JW also worked there in 1918, but unfortunately did not meet BM. Therefore, JW then wrote to BM in Schönenberg. Unfortunately, he did not see BM again. He was comforted by hearing the OPENING of the studios on the radio. He also greets his daughter (?) Jindřiška (Martinů?). He also has a daughter who was in Wales with the František Lýsky Choir at the Llangollen Music Festival. The children sang OPENING STUDENTS and the daughter accompanied them on the piano. He also sends a German translation of the letter.
