Content and physical description
ContentA couple of weeks ago Mrs Ricketts asked Betty Bean for a CLASSICAL CONCERT [No. 2?] by Bohuslav Martinů. It was difficult to get hold of, the only copy being with Rudolf Firkušný, who was on tour. Tomorrow BB will have a master sheet. Will ER want to copy them? Let him know if he's in a hurry. [Ralph] Hawkes might take them with him when he goes [to Europe] on July 1.
