Content and physical description
ContentVítězslava Kaprálová is delighted with the letter from her parents and the fact that her Partita is to be performed. She regrets, however, that in a few days her friends are leaving [for the military camp in Agde]. Today there is a ceremony at the grave of the unknown soldier, but VK is not going because it is too cold. He also describes the financial situation and events of the last few days. He is working on the instrumentation of the Concertino [for violin, clarinet and orchestra], but it is slow going because Bohoušek [Martinů] keeps interfering. If her parents had wanted her to, she would have tried to return home. BM sends her heartfelt greetings.
