Content and physical description

Content

There is nothing new in Paris. In the morning he works all day and then from 3:00 to 5:30 or 6:30 he has with Bohuslav Martinů. The Martins invite her to the Vieux Moulin for Easter, but she is also thinking of going to Monaco on the recommendation of the doctor [Dr.]. On Sunday she was [with her landlady] in the car at "Fontenebleux". She is still hesitating about going to England [the tour of the student choir with Czech songs and the Beseda]. They would go to London, Cambridge and Oxford. He sends greetings from [Rudolf] Kopec and from the "Helferts" [It is not clear which Helferts these are. Possibly Vladimir Helfert with Blažena Helfert, but perhaps Renata Helfert-Trtílková with her husband Josef Trtílková is meant]. Did they see her photograph in the National Politics? The rejected [Edgar] Hauner [applying for VK's hand in marriage] put it there.
