Content and physical description
ContentIn the hand of Marie Martinů: They thank you for sending the book, so they will at least know the plot of the opera, and after reading it they will send it to Bohuslav Martinů. They ask Karel Šebánek to tell them where to send the money, whether to him or to the bookstore. He writes to BM that he is glad he finished the opera, it was hard work, he would like the premiere to be in Venice, where the conductor [perhaps Oreste Piccardi or Nino Sanzogno] is a good friend of his, and he played BM's CLAVIERCE CONCERT [No. 3] with [Rudolf] Firkušný in South America. They don't want to leave Nice, he is also expecting two violinists (probably twins) to Europe in the autumn, who wrote a concerto for them [CONCERT FOR TWO VIOLINS AND ORCHESTRA].
By the hand of Jindřiška Martinů: So far they have not received any news from the Ministry , they did not want to urge it themselves and KS did not want to bother - so let them kindly put in a good word for them.
