Dear Ernest:

I do not know hwat [what] happened but I certainly have no news from you the time I am in New York. And also certainly I would like to know your decision about all the manuscript [manuscripts] I have sent you. I know only about Gilgamesh and that I know from Sacher. Co se deje?

They bombarde [bombard] me from Prague subject Otvirani studanek [Otvírání studánek], they are all ready to make a film of it and to make a luxurious edition with pictures and all I can say that I have no news from London, which is getting after more then three months a little ridiculous as a pretext. isn’t it?

So I will not try to get to the roots of this mystery and would only let you know if you will write me at all to send it to the new address.



108 East 60 St. New York. N.Y.



Wishing you very happy and Merry Christmas and all the best in New Year.

Sincerely

yours.
