Content and physical description
ContentIt is only today that Karel Šebánek gets to answer the 3 previous letters. He can't find out how much money Bohuslav Martinů has in OSA because they are on holiday there and won't be back until this week. BM has already written. KS asks if they have the score of the Nativity of the Lord [Part 3 of THE GAMES OF MARY] at home. It is apparently to be performed by Radio Hilversum for Christmas and KS needs to have it copied for orchestral material. BM has promised him other works, but will send them from America. Then KS will be able to satisfy the Brno people. KS is trying to perform Jan Novak's concert in Prague, but it is not easy. He has arranged with Miloš Sádl not to play the VIOLONCELL CONCERT [No. 1 probably in the old version], although this will rather harm BM. KS thanks the critics for sending in their reviews, which he is returning so that they can possibly be used in the museum.
