Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů informs Jindřich Honzl that his arrival in Prague will be delayed due to the postponement of the premiere [of the opera THE PLAY OF MARY] in Brno. Nevertheless, he thinks he will come to Prague for Christmas and stay for at least two months. He has to get some film, if JH finds out anything, he has BM to recommend. Inquires about the theatre and about some work (perhaps with Nezval) as he has a few free days in Paris. He has a little opera himself, SLZY KNIFE, which might be good for the theatre. He is also thinking of writing incidental music for Desaignes' Faust and Jevrejna's Merry Death. Or if any of the others have any plans for BM (Vanchura, etc.), JH should give him BM's address. The Russian Ballet of Boston writes to him, Miassin wants to send scores for review, including DOROTU.
