Content and physical description
ContentErnst Roth apologizes for replying so late to Miloš Šafránek's letter of 29 October [1955]. ER is very interested in the new MŠ book on [Bohuslav] Martinů. Unfortunately ER does not know where the CONCERT FOR VIOLIN, PIANO AND ORCHESTRA is. Nor does he know who published SONATA No. 3 FOR PIANO AND PIANO.
ER has a few BM [presumably BP] manuscripts with him but hasn't had a chance to look at them yet. He will do so as soon as possible, and then he will be able to tell MC more.
ER has contacted Harold Holt about Germaine Leroux's African tour. HH will probably contact the MC directly.
