Content and physical description

Content

Vítězslava Kaprál's American scholarship is beginning to look promising, so Václav Kaprál is to leave his school to Theodor Schaefer, although she regrets it, as well as the possible separation from her parents and Three Wells in case the scholarship works out. Bohuslav Martinů would go with her. But it would take at least 2 months to process the visa. In the meantime, VK is counting on spending the summer in France. The songs [Sung into the Distance] will be performed on 21 [June; they were not finally performed until about 30 June] at the Office du Tourisme. This week it goes to the Oratorio of Arthur Honegger. He sends his regards from BM.
