Content and physical description

Roth se omlouvá, že na dopis z 15. května [v databázi pod signaturou BH 1958-05-15] ohledně biografie o Bohuslavu Martinů od Miloše Šafránka odepisuje až nyní, ale musel nejdříve zjistit, kolik kopií budou v New Yorku potřebovat. Nyní chápe, že z New Yorku objednají 250 kopií přímo z Artie. ER nemůže objednat takové množství, neboť BM není v Británii a zemích Commonwealthu dostatečně znám, může objednat pouze 100 kopií. Žádá o sdělení ceny. Show AI translation R. Roth apologizes that he is only now replying to the letter of 15 May [in the database under the signature BH 1958-05-15] regarding the biography of Bohuslav Martinů by Miloš Šafránek, but he had to first find out how many copies they would need in New York. He now understands that they will order 250 copies directly from New York from Artie. ER cannot order that amount as BM is not well known in Britain and the Commonwealth countries, he can only order 100 copies. He asks to be told the price. Show original
Transcription of the letter	17th June, 1958 ARTIA, P.O.B. 790 30, Ve Smeckach, Prague 2, Czechoslovakia Dear Sirs, I beg to apologise for replying only today to your letter of the 15th May about the Martinu biography by Milos Safránek, but I wanted to find out first from our New York house how many copies they would need. I now understand that they will order from you direct for direct supply to New York 250 copies. I am afraid I cannot order any such quantity because, unfortunately, Martinu is not sufficiently wellknown in Britain and in the Commonwealth countries and the best I can do is to order 100 copies. I do not know whether this would be sufficient for you to make it a common publication, but at the moment I really cannot see how I can dispose of a greater quantity. No doubt you will let me know the price before you supply because this too is of great importance. Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Dr. E. Roth Director.
