Content and physical description

Content

Vítězslava Kaprálová writes to her parents how she conducted Beethoven's Symphony No.4 at school and arranged with [Charles] Munch to consult the score of Icarus [Istar]. Bohuslav Martinů arrived today and is delighted to receive the VK Symphony in London. They talked at great length about all sorts of things. VK thanks Milada Kundera for her writing. She has already sent a letter to the "Helferts". On Sunday she will go to Denis's grave just outside Paris. Jarka Vavrdová will sing her songs in České Budějovice. Nothing has come from the Music Matrix yet.
