Mr. Bohuslav Martinu

Darien

Connecticut



Dear Mr. Martinu:



I am glad to hear that Mr. Leinsdorf has scheduled your new symphony for performance at our concerts on October 28th and 30th.



I would like to make my program news notes on the new symphony as complete as possible, and hope you will send me whatever material you have about the new work and your recent activities. I should be glad to quote your own description of the symphony.



Could you also send me some pictures of yourself that we might use for newspaper publicity in Cleveland?



Sincerely yours,
