Content and physical description

Content

Vítězslava Kaprálová writes to her parents about the performances she attended, the futile search for [Miloš] Šafránek, who was to return the score of Dubno's preludes to her, and her visit to the Osuskis. She wrote a letter to [Alois] Hába, telling him that she would conduct the [Military] Symphony in London herself. VK must also ask Bohuslav Martinů how much he interceded for her. BM has not yet arrived but is due back shortly. VK adds a brief reminiscence of her conducting performance in Prague and of the resolution of the problem regarding the need for further confirmation from the MoS in order to be granted a free ticket to the Opera.
