Content and physical description
ContentVítězslava Kaprálová describes the course of Čapek's evening, which was marked by the illness of many of the performers. The melodrama was eventually performed by Věra Uhlířová, the Elegy was replaced by II. April Prelude performed by VK. Bohuslav Martinů was somewhat critical of its interpretation. She met [Georges] Hirsch, the translator into French. BM tells Václav Kapral not to agree to the performance of the Suite [rustica on radio] at an inauspicious time between 3-4 o'clock. As it is the first performance, it should be performed in the evening. A number of institutions are already waiting for the performance.
Tomorrow VK is going to the École Normale with BM about her further studies and in the afternoon to the Foreign Office to see if her tuition fees could be waived. [Marlen] Jakerl liked her letter and will print it in the series "What a weak woman can do". She will write VK more on Saturday. She sends BM's regards.
