Content and physical description
ContentVítězslava Kaprálová will spend Christmas at Jirka Mucha's together with Ruda [Kundera], Ruda [Firkušný], [?] Stein, [Bohuslav and Charlotte] Martinů, Audrey [?] - almost a bride of RK - and [Otakar and Maria] Kraus. VK has been given the task of baking a blackened carp, but she hasn't found the recipe and so doesn't know how to do it. She gives everyone at least a small present. BM gets business cards. Apparently her short orchestral piece will be on [Radio Paris?] on Saturday, which she has to write quickly, as JK only arranged it today. VK often listens to [Czechoslovak Radio] Prague, the [Military] Symphony material came in fine, but they don't want to release it [at the post office?] Ruda [Firkušný] probably won't go to England after all, he didn't get permission. She likes it at school. "A gentleman from Switzerland" [Paul Sacher] sent her over BM 500 CZK as a talented composer. He wishes her a happy Christmas and hopes they will meet as soon as possible in the New Year.
