Aug. 2.56.

Dear Ernest:

I thought that you will stay for some days in Zurich but I have impression from your letter that you are leaving immediately for a high mountain where noone will find you and where will not be a music, not even Radio and not a Festival. So it will be difficult for me to get back to Schonenberg in the night. There is no communication from Basel, as far as I know.

I think I can see you at some later date, may be in Salzburg. We will be there about 22-25 August or you will come to Zurich during a day, full of rest and bronzé by mountain air. Let me know, I wish you a very nice sejourn [sojourn] in the mountain and [beaucoup] de rest a odpočinek.

Would like very much to see you. Hope I will. Best regards

B. Martinů
