Stravinsky to Boulanger
Paris
March 19, 1936
My very dear friend,
I am still under the influence of yesterday evening’s serene memorial. I really would have liked
to see you, but the number of people going to greet you made it difficult for me.
I am thinking of you, believe me, and please accept these flowers intended for the grave of your
dearly departed.
Your
Igor Stravinsky
Stravinsky à Boulanger
Paris
le 19 mars 1936
Mon [sic] très chère amie,
Je suis encore sous l’impression de cette sereine commémoration d’hier soir
J’aurais bien voulu vous voir mais la quantité des personnes qui allaient vous saluer m’a un peu
troublé.
Je pense à vous, croyez le moi [sic] et acceptez, je vous prie, ces fleurs qui sont destinées à la
tombe de vous [sic] chères disparues
Votre
Igor Stravinsky
