Bohuslav Martinů píše Janu Novákovi, že být Padre, jak ho JN nazývá, je pěkná zodpovědnost. Mozart měl také jednoho Padre. [William] Yeats měl částečně pravdu. Kdyby BM znal dřívě [Leoše] Janáčka, jistě by napodoboval, ale když to nedělal tehdy, musí to dělat teď. Že JN odešel z kvarteta ho nemusí mrzet. JN zachovává odbojovou pozici a zabývá se hudebními problémy, což je dobře, ale BM by rád, aby JN také někdy dal do muziky jak štípal dříví a přikládal do kamen. To by zahřálo u srdce. Nonet a kvartet atd. je, když se sedí u piana a zápasí s hudebními problémy, někdy je ale dobře vyjít ven. JN nemá nutit Elišku [Novákovou] stále hrát jen BM, aby se jí neomrzel.

Bohuslav Martinů writes to Jan Novák that being a Padre, as JN calls him, is quite a responsibility. Mozart also had a Padre. [William] Yeats was partly right. If BM had known [Leoš] Janáček before, he would certainly have imitated him, but if he didn't do it then, he must do it now. That JN left the quartet need not make him sorry. JN maintains a resistance position and deals with musical problems, which is good, but BM would like JN to also put in music sometime as he split wood and added to the stove. That would warm the heart. Nonet and quartet etc is when one sits at the piano and wrestles with musical problems, but sometimes it's good to get out. JN shouldn't force Eliska [Novak] to play only BM all the time so she doesn't get tired.
