| Content | Charlotte Martinů thanks Jan and Eliska Novák for the news. Perhaps they could meet sometime. Italy is not so far away. ChM wishes they find better housing. She and [Bohuslav] Martinu had similar problems during the war, but had it easier as they had no children. Clara [Nováková] is hopefully healthy now. ChM received a letter from their "Samaritan" telling him to lend 30,000 crowns, but did not receive JN's letter. Dilia sends money to František Hanoušek in Brno, but says that he only needs 26,000 crowns. What has ChM done to JN? Also, "he" told her to write to Jaroslava Zapletalova, probably his mistress, but ChM did not write to her because she has been sick for 4 months, coughing and breathing badly. ChM is alone, she has no relatives in Vieux Moulin, only friends. ChM will naturally help Jan Novak, JN will get some money for Switzerland. But the "Samaritan" will have to pay her back. Although he always has some projects with BM, it's always up to ChM to arrange and pay everything. It's a pity they can't meet, ChM wants to discuss a lot with JN. ChM asks what town Rovereto is near. He sends a New Year's card. |
