Content and physical description
ContentŠebánek brought Bohuslav Martinů to Paris with messages from Jindřich Honzl, now BM is back in NY. He's still looking for something for his next opera. He writes about current views on art, what they [specifically in JULIETTE] were pursuing in music drama and what young composers are pursuing in our country today, and mentions important changes in social life at the moment. He asks JH to send him some tips if he comes across anything. BM will try to track something down in the US, they have a wonderful library at the University [of Princeton]. He asks about Muzika, Zrzavý and Diviš. He is happy at the university, but regrets that he can't pass on all that energy to our young people.
