Friendly correspondence: he talks about his work and is interested in the musical career of Kaul's son: De suisse, March 1946: political letter: "... I, above all, as an artist, and resistant to politics, I see myself by the force of events, deeply involved in the efforts of democracies against the reactionary politics of so-called democratic countries. I make weigh everywhere the little that my name is worth... the good deals passing as before, in the first place - Justice, morals negligible quantity!!... What will become of your beautiful instruments?... "January 1947: he receives hundreds of letters and telegrams from all over the world for his 70th birthday "the whole thing full of esteem and affection moves me"; April 1947: "... I am in full copy of my oratorio to be given in Barcelona as soon as possible after the kick to Franco ... So I can't choose one of the two instruments you're talking about... "December 1947: Casals wishes Kaul's son a brilliant career; March 1948: "Yesterday I heard your children in the kreutzer sonata. Both of them gave me great pleasure. Excellent instrumentalists and warm musical interpretation ... "September 1948: he is happy about his son's beautiful criticism of Beethoven's sonata "I am stuck in Prades with my pupils... I'm tired but I also have satisfactions... "1948: he knows the difficulties of the artists "... for the musicians it is total paralysis and since the fight against these circumstances is useless it is just a matter of adapting. I stopped playing for myself a long time ago... ». Joint: L.S. in the name of Casals to Kaul; L.A.S. to Mrs. Kaul 5 January 1952: he sends her all his sympathy for the death of Mr. Kaul; L.S. to son Kaul 4 November 1955 about a cello made by his father.
