Content and physical description
ContentVítězslava Kapralová was at home until today and "pretended to moan". Dr. Mašek [Josef Mašek?] came to see her and recommended that she lie down and drink a lot until Wednesday. She continues to cook for herself. In January she saved 500 Fr.
She began to write "In Memoriam" [to Karel Čapek], but [Jan] Šedivka renamed it Elegy. VK is not satisfied with the composition and quarreled about it with Bohuslav Martinů, who "would be ashamed to write something like that". VK is offended, but BM is right. JS is supposed to play VK's Burlesque at the Sorbonne and BM teases him with remarks "just so it won't be too modern" [see letter ID 7794], which is probably the main reason [modernity] why JS doesn't want to play anything by BM. Today she corrected the Partita, she has to rework the whole instrumentation. She is curious about [performing] the [Rustica] Suite, they are to let her know how they like it. She sends BM's regards.
