Content and physical description

Content	Bohuslav Martinů regrets that he didn't get to meet Ernst Roth the whole holiday again. BM does not understand what is happening at B&H - those interested in SYMPHONY No. 6 are obviously receiving negative answers from the publisher, while the contract was signed already in 1952 (or 53) and it should be in B&H's interest to have this successful composition on market. Charles Munch has performed it with the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Munich, Paris and several concerts in the USA, but the score is still not on the market. If B&H is not interested, BM wants it back. ER should inform BM in this matter. There are other compositions that lie uselessly in a B&H drawer. BM is leaving for Rome next week. He attaches his address.
