Content and physical description

Content

Vítězslava Kaprálová is surprised that her parents did not receive previous messages. Yesterday, after the Triton concert, she was reintroduced to many people. Arthur Honegger, Dario Milhaud and Florentin Schmitt, among others. [Miloš] Šafránek is arranging free tickets for her to the Opera and other cultural institutions. VK describes her new accommodation with Madame Betz [1. Rue de Medicis, Paris 6]. On Friday they were setting up a club at Études Slaves. She is enjoying her [French lessons] at the Alliance, but there doesn't seem to be enough money for more lessons. Bohuslav Martinů leaves on Monday for Nice for two months. VK is angry that he is leaving her here alone. BM invited her to go with them.
