Content and physical description
ContentKarel Šebánek was sorry that the Martins left Prague without stopping to see him. Yesterday he sent them each a copy of the material reproduced for lending. It's for the [National?] Museum, if they re-establish the Bohuslav Martinů department. He also included the film [FILM IN THE MINIATURE? or the filmed OPENING OF THE STUDIOS?] that Marie Martinů wanted and a photograph that BM sent. He might go to Paris in January to get the materials left by BM there. However, he must write a letter to him so that KS could present it to the Fund and the Ministry of Culture. He encloses the letter they sent him in May for his signature. It is to be sent back to Prague after Isha Popelka. This is needed to conclude the matter with the Museum. Alén Diviš had a narrowing of the blood vessels. Like BM, KS has lost a good friend in him. The sculptor [Karla Vobišová-Žáková] who made the bust of BM cheated Hedvika Zaorálková badly. For BM's birthday, KS had a showcase made of his works with an enlarged photograph.
