Content and physical description
ContentVK has written three letters since Christmas but has not received a direct reply to any of them. If this letter reaches them, she will send them the finished Dance No. 1, which Rudynek [Firkušný] likes very much. It is supported monetarily by a patron. Jirka [Mucha] is going south [to Agde], and Ruda K[undera] will probably go with him. Otherwise, VK goes to concerts and school, composes, and is angry with Bohoušek [Martinů], 'for whom I still do little'. He had a great success in Basel [premiere of TWO CONCERTS FOR TWO SPEAKERS. ORCHESTRA, CLAVIER AND TYMPANS, Basel, 9.2.1940, BSO, P. Sacher]. He also moved [Arthur] Honegger. The critics were also very enthusiastic and BM is still so modest and kind and would give the whole thing away. Bomba [probably meaning Bohuslav Kapral] is in Budapest
