Content and physical description
ContentBohuslav Martinů does not know what is happening, he hasn’t got any news from Ernest Roth for three months. He would like to know his decision about the manuscripts he has sent him before, he only has news about THE EPIC OF GILGAMESH from Paul Sacher. In Prague they are overwhelming Martinů with questions about THE OPENING OF THE SPRING, they want to make a film and a luxury edition with pictures. But BM can't say anything until B&H in London speaks out on that topic. BM attaches his new address in New York.
