How kind and good you are. Thank you with all my heart. We are working on the Sonata here
for the Sisters and it is such a joy. We’re preparing Palestrina’s St. Dominic Mass, and the Mass
and the Sonata illuminate one other—they present the same problems, fundamentally—and the
material is so beautiful. Oh, how the two pianos sound . . .
No need for effusions, you know what I think better than I do!
To both of you, with all my heart,
Nadia
[P.S.] Everyone here is talking about you! Sister Edward and Sister Ignatia send many thoughts
to you.

Que vous êtes gentil, et bon. Merci de tout cœur. Nous travaillons la Sonate ici, pour les Sœurs,
et c’est une telle joie. Préparons une messe de Palestrina pour la St. Dominic, et le Messe et la
Sonate s’éclairent mutuellement, mêmes problèmes, au fond, et si belle matière. Comme les deux
pianos sonnent…
Allons, pas d’effusions, vous savez ce que je pense mieux que moi!
A vous deux de tout cœur
Nadia
[P.-S.] Tout le monde parle de vous ici! Sister Edward et Sister Ignatia vous envoient tant de
souvenirs.
