Vsem se nam tam velice li-bilo, jen skoda, ze to obecenstvo nebylo vetsi. Pred nekolika dny jsem dostaldopis (a sek) od Miss Kolb, a musim se priznat, ze byl velmi lichotivy. Doufam,ze to nebude nas posledni zajezd do Canady, a ze se projeví zajem o podobna vy-stoupeni v Ottawe a Torontu. Chci tez podekovat jmenem nas vsech Vasi pani zapohostinstvi, kterym nas zahrnula i Vam za peknou prohlidku mesta, byt i jen takna rychlo.Tento tyden jsem tez dostal kopii clanku, ktery napsala Miss Arnold o mem kvar-tetu i moji praci. Prislo to nejakou oklikou z Toronta, a ja se tesim, ze mi ona samaposle nekolik exemplaru, jak mi to slibila za nasi navstevy. Clanek byl dobrenapsan i foto se nam libilo, a opet si uvedomuji s ocenenim, ze to tez byla Vasezasluha.Momentalne si neupamatuji, kdy se chystate na navstevu k Vasemu synovi do WestHartfordu, ale urcite mi dejte vedet az sem pojedete, a musite se k nam prijit opetpodivat. Budeme si mit porad jeste hodne co rici o nasich vzajemnych zajmech.Minuly tyden jsem mel druhy koncert s kvartetem v ramci nasi letni sezony. Melijsme hosta, Karla Frohlicha, na viola. Je to ten houslista z Terezina, ale nepreje si,abych to propagoval. Zahrali jsme svetovou premieru Dua pro housle a violu, na-psaneho v Terezine Zikmundem Schulem. Je to pouze "fragment", a i tak skladbatrvala 17 minut. Musime se to naucit s mym obvyklym violistou, abychom to mohlihrat casteji na nasich "terezinskych" koncertech.Tak jeste jednou srdecne diky a mnoho srdecnych pozdravu Vasi pani i Vam a tesimse na brzskou shledanou.Read automatically; may contain mistakes.
