Content and physical description
ContentMiloš Šafránek is pleased with the news from BM. But BM is right, direct correspondence with America could harm the MŠ at home. He already has contact with France thanks to his family. But he is glad that he can communicate with BM through his family in Polička. Perhaps MM has already written to him about how MS followed in Bohus' footsteps in the Highlands. MS would like BM to contact his wife [Germaine Leroux] and son [Jan Šafránek] in Paris and advise them on Jan's further studies. He gives their Paris address.
MS is not yet finished with his work in Prague and so does not know when he will get to Polička, but he will certainly go there. He has lectures in Prague on 28 September and 5 October. He hopes that [Maria Prazanova's] health has improved. He asks that they convey to BM his interest in any news about BM activities. He would like to know if he has completed VI. SYMPHONY, when he composed the THREE CZECH DANCES for orchestra which were performed in Edinburgh [thought to be H 324] and what he did for VI. STRING QUARTET. He is delighted with the news that František [Martinů] is doing better.
