Content and physical description

Content	Martinů apologizes for replying in French again. He thanks John Burke for the article, it is very nice. However, BM asks HM to include the compositions he completed in the USA: CONCERTO DA CAMERA and SONATA FOR CELLO AND PIANO No. 2. His latest manuscripts were lost in France. BM is happy that the Boston Symphony Orchestra will be performing his work. He will be coming to Boston and is looking forward to meeting JB.
