Content and physical description
ContentPart of the writing of FM: František Martinů sends Karel Šebánek "another kind of music", the price is terrible, but there was nothing to be done. If KS is not suitable, Jindřiška Martinů writes what to do. They'll probably get some more fatty, raw meat, FM was promised salami too, but so far nothing. When he gets something, he'll send it. The shelf is being fortified, they live outside the fortifications, but they think they won't be so bad off. They have a niece there with a seven-month-old baby, he invited them to Polička after the Prague air raid to calm down a bit. If KS will be so kind as to get the colours, he would ask FM - [list of colours]. Since FM hasn't received his allotment yet, he doesn't know if he can choose the colors or if they are only in batches. So let KS take what he gets. If there were brushes, let him buy them too, smaller ones, for tracing. Hopefully, KS won't be too bothered by it, then they'll balance it out. What he's sending today is 1400,- it's 1 and 1/4 kg. If he is going to send it, have KS send the twine too, it is no longer available and won't be.
Part written by JM: She hasn't forgotten about KS, but it's hard to get, she went to ask every week and was always told not until the next - then they offered her what they send. If KS does not want it, she should take it to Mrs. Karla Marešová at J[ire]ckova 14, Prague VII., she is JM's cousin. She's thinking of KS, it must be terrible with the wife there. I hope they'll get what they promised, if they send it immediately. Is KS still in Orb[isu]?
