Content and physical description

Content	Bohuslav Martinů is trying to contact Ernest Roth again, he doesn't know why he hasn't got any news from him for a long time. He states his current address at the Great Northern Hotel and the address where he will be moving soon. BM is waiting for corrections of the SYMPHONY NO. 6 and up-to-date information about LOCANDIERA and JULIETTE. He wants to know which of the sent scores will ER accept and how it will be with their contract in the coming years. BM has been addressing these questions to ER and his office for four months and they are still unanswered. Even the New York branch has no news for him. He receives news from Prague about the OPENING OF SPRINGS and PRIMROSE, he received a message from Paul Sacher that ER will not take THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH and from Australia he received news about the THE OBOE CONCERTO. The Boston corrections for SYMPHONY No. 6 are correct, except for page 11 where in the flute there is b natural instead of b flat. The title will be: Dedicated to Charles Munch for the 75th anniversary of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. BM hopes that LOCANDIERA's piano score is finished and that ER will soon answer all his questions.
