Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů was delighted with the letter, BM sees that JH is working just as feverishly and, he hopes, with less difficulty than when they fought together for ND and built the opera [JULIETTE] in the Prague-Paris letters. But they achieved what they wanted, and BM has met many people here too who cannot forget the performance. BM's decision about the future is complicated, he is not enthusiastic about the Czech musical conditions, and moreover his whole life line was somewhere else. He thinks about Talich and many other things, not interested in our representatives. He asks JH what he would consider as a subject for an opera, he himself has doubts about Hidden.
