Content and physical description

Content	Thanks for sending him the first pages of the piano reduction of Martinů's composition [probably THREE WISHES, H 175, see TauF 1929-02-10]. He did not decide yet, but he would know a good translator, in case, that he, the sender would not do it himself. He talked with Mr [Heinrich] Burkard, who will write to BM by himself, too, and who would like him to come to Berlin one day. He talked with "a dirigent" of the State Opera about Martinů and his opera, too. For some days he will be in Prague, and writes, as soon he is going to return to Berlin.
