Content and physical description
ContentErnst Roth expresses his regret to Bohuslav Martinů that they did not meet in Paris and asks how long his stay in Rome will be.
She apologizes for the confusion surrounding SYMPHONY No. 6, there were complications with it. Most of it is in mastersheets and will definitely be printed by mid-November.
ER does not understand how someone from their publishing house could have told those interested that they did not have it, as they had so far provided all the scores from the old mastersheets, which are, however, difficult to read.
He will try to speed things up as much as possible. But he also wants to meet because of other irregularities. He asks BM to send him his itinerary.
