Content and physical description
ContentBM will finish the sonata soon, but he doesn't know if Rudy will want it, and he doesn't have his address. He is not sure if the sonata will be what Rudy imagined. It's also hard to add anything that would stand up as good in his amazing repertoire. He wonders if he (the addressee) will see him or if he (RS) is on the other side of the Earth. He's supposed to tell Rudy that if he doesn't like or like the sonata, he should feel free to say so, BM won't feel offended. [Handwritten address of BM in Nice.]
