Content and physical description
ContentMarcel Mihalovici was happy to meet Josef Páleníček. He has been informed of Bohuslav Martinů's poor condition by both Charlotte Martinů and Conrad Beck. BM was already once in a coma from which he recovered. Everyone hopes he will get better. The composer's vitality seems to be intact, giving him a better chance of recovery. MM hopes to delay the day of his passing. If that moment does come, she will fly to him to say goodbye. CB also spent nice moments with him. BM is currently at the Sacher's house. MM also tried to call the Marietti brothers who did not answer the phone. MM would like them to release the Trio [KEY TRIO #2, #3, possibly SMITH TRIO #1?] He will try calling them again and let JP know the result of his efforts. He also sends his regards to [Alexander] Plock, to whom he will send his sonata. He also met with [Yehudi] Menuhin and saw several operas.
