1260 North Wetherly Drive

July 29, 1941
Dear friend,
I received your letter of June 29 in Mexico City and am just responding to you today with a
couple of words to thank you for it. Reply quickly by return mail if you are coming here (or to
Santa Barbara where Mrs. Bliss is waiting for you) since in that case it would be simpler to look
at things concerning my symphony together and to make decisions face to face. It’s so
complicated to correspond on such subjects. I am so grateful to you for taking care of this, thank
you with all my heart! I am back from Mexico City with the two orch[estral] scores, mine and
the grey one that I want to try to correct according to my own. Can you believe those idiots at the
Associated Music Publishers sent (for some potential performances) a complete version of my
symphony to London before they had received your corrections!!!!!! So I await your response
doubly impatiently.
I’m sorry to hear that you’re in a poor state of health and beg you to give me details, if only as an
exception [to what you would usually do]. Is it your nerves, insomnia, or something bigger yet? I
am very worried.
I’ve just received a letter from Théodore who, the poor boy, was taken away by two policemen
to a concentration camp close to Toulouse where he spent four horrible days dying of hunger, a
result of measures taken by the government against all Russians without exception (Red or
White), following the break in diplomatic relations with the Soviets. If it wasn’t for the Swiss
Consul at Toulouse who acted as guarantor for my poor Théodore, he would still be imprisoned
like the others. Such noble measures are taken, probably to please Hitler, against refugees
deprived of all their rights. And [to think] Théodore offered his services to the French army at
the beginning of the war! The other day in Mexico City someone asked if I was for Pétain or,
like many French here, a “Degaullist,” I responded to them that I am “Disgueulsted.”
Very affectionately yours,
I. Stra

Chere amie,
Votre lettre du 29 juin recue a Mexico et ne vous reponds qu’aujourd’hui quelques mots pour
vous en remercier. Repondez-moi vite par retour du courrier si vous venez ici (ou a Santa
Barbara ou Mme Bliss vous attend) puisque dans ce cas il serait plus simple de voir les choses
qui concernent ma symphonie ensemble et de prendre des decisions de vive voix. C’est si
complique de correspondre sur de pareils sujets. Je vous suis si reconnaissant de vous en
occuper, merci de tout cœur ! Je suis revenu de Mexico avec les deux partitions d’orch., la
mienne et la grise que je veux tachez [sic] de corriger d’apres la mienne. Immaginez-vous[sic]
que ces idiots de l’Associated Music Publishers ont expedie a Londres (pour des executions
eventuelles[sic]) un complet de ma symphonie avant qu’ils ayent [sic] recu vos corrections!!!!!!
J’attends donc avec une double impatience votre reponse.
Desole [sic] de vous savoir en mauvais etat de sante vous prie de me donner, ne serait-ce que par
exception, des details. Est-ce que c’est les nerfs, l’insomnie ou des choses plus importantes
encore ? Je suis tres inquiet.
Viens de recevoir une lettre de Theodore qui, le pauvre, etait emmene par deux gendarmes dans
un camp de concentration pres de Toulouse ou il a passe quatre affreuses journees crevant de
faim resultat de mesure prise par le gouvernement contre tous les russes sans exception (rouges
ou blancs) apres la rupture des relations diplomatiques avec les soviets . Si ce n’était le consul
suisse a Toulouse qui s’est porte garant de mon pauvre Theodore ce dernier serait toujours
emprisonne comme les autres. Nobles mesures prises, probablement pour faire plaisir a Hitler,
contre des refugiers prives de tous les droits. Et dire que Theodore a offert au debut de la guerre
ses services a l’armee francaise ! L’autre jour a Mexico quelqu’un m’avait demande si j’etais
pour Petain ou comme beaucoup de francais [sic] ici « Degaullistes », je leur ai repondu que je
suis Degueuliste.
Tres affectueusement,
Votre
I. Stra

Dear Nadia,
A few days ago I read this letter in the Los Angeles Times.
Have you received the photostats (negative and positive) of pages 58 and 59 of Oedipus that you
were missing? The Blue Print should have sent them to you 5–6 days ago. Very upset at this
oversight.

Here we are, in view of Boston, and the train is bouncing along enthusiastically. That does not
mean all that much to you. But I know how these coming days will be, and I must, my dear Igor
and Vera, tell you what the visit to your place this Thursday meant. It was so nice for me, did me
much good, and I thank you with all my heart. [This note is] not very interesting, but I would not
have peace of mind without telling you. You are so good and I love you dearly.

Nous voici en vue de Boston—que le train sautille avec ardeur—cela ne se voit que trop. Mais je
sais ce que seront ces journées qui viennen [sic], et il me faut, mes chers Igor et Vera, vous dire
ce qu’a été ce jeudi chez vous. Il m’a été si doux, m’a fait tant de bien, et je vous en remercie de
tout mon cœur. Pas bien intéressant, mais je n’aurais pas été tranquille sans vous l’avoir dit.
Vous êtes si bons et je vous aime tant.

But are you sure that I am a member of Lili Boulanger’s Memorial Fund [sic]? I most
wholeheartedly don't object, but since when?
Forgive me for not having written you more—impossible right now, and I send you all my

Art is born of constraint, lives of struggle, dies of liberty.
André Gide]
You cannot know the pleasure that you brought me, Dear Igor, and . . . what a lesson in this
score!
Koussev[itzky] is putting on Oedipus and “is thinking” about doing it on the same day as the
Symphony—we are so delighted, but . . . you will not see it!
Many warm wishes, and with very profound affection. A kiss for both of you,
Nadia B

« L’art naît de contrainte, vit de lutte, meurt de liberté. »
André Gide
Vous ne pouvez pas savoir le plaisir que vous m’avez fait, Cher Igor—et…quelle leçon dans
cette partition !
Koussev. donne Œdipe et « pense » à donner le même jour la Symphonie—nous nous réjouissons
tant, mais…que ne verrez-vous!
Tant de vœux, et une si profonde affection. Je vous embrasse tous deux,
Nadia B

Dear Igor, Dear Vera,
These last few hours I have been so sad to leave you that after having asked for your number, I
hung up, not having the courage to hear your voices.
But I will soon kiss the cheeks of Jean, Sviétik, Françoise, maybe Milène. Who knows, [perhaps]
I will return sooner than I think. Finally, may God keep you, my dearest ones. I love you, and
when I consider just how much, the thought of this long-awaited return costs me very dearly.
And to miss the Symphony!
Know all that these last-minute lines bring to you, and speak of me often. I need to feel you close
by my side.
Your
Nadia B.
[P.S.] I will speak to Sviétik and Françoise about the baptism. Again, all my love, Dear Igor,
Dear Vèra!

Cher Igor, Chère Vera,
Les toutes dernières heures suis si triste de vous quitter qu’après avoir demandé votre numéro,
j’ai annulé, pas le courage d’entendre votre voix.
Mais embrasserai bientôt Jean, Sviétik, Françoise, peut-être Milène. Qui sait, reviendrai plus tôt
que je ne pense. Enfin, que Dieu vous garde, mes très chers. Je vous aime, il me semble
seulement mesurer combien et ce retour tant attendu, me coûte bien cher.
Et manquer la symphonie!
Sentez tout ce que ces lignes de la dernière minute vous portent, et parlez souvent de moi, j’ai
besoin de vous sentir à mes côtés.
Votre
Nadia B.
[P.-S.] Dirai à Sviétik et Françoise à propos du baptême. Encore ma tendresse, Cher Igor, Chère
Vèra !

Dear Friend,
Received the letter, the pages from Oedipus, the newspaper clipping—thank you. Will arrive
August 5 at 11:43 on the “Chief,” truly hoping we will have lunch together. I miss you greatly. In
the peace of this convent, in the midst of these women whose conviction makes them smile,
close to Sister Edward, I forget a little what makes everything more and more intolerable: false
values, false ambitions, false ideas. What can I say: the lack of values, the absence of ideas, and
satisfaction with this emptiness, not too foolish, not too sad.
Even here, where we are not as isolated as we were in Sinsinawa, the air still carries with it a
dust that nothing can stop.
But it is enough to go back into the Chapel, to pick up once again one of the books that remain a
mainstay, then reread one of your works, to say to one’s self that after everything, this alone
shall remain of our miserable time, deserves to endure, and will overcome our errors, our
blindness, our weaknesses.
I am so happy you are there, and what luck that the Sachses are staying in Santa Barbara! I hope
that you will come often. I need you greatly.
All my affection for Vera and for you,
Much love,
Nadia
[P.S.] Sister Edward sends you her thoughts. She prays for you every day.

Cher Ami,
Reçu lettre, feuilles d’Oedipus, coupure journal—merci. Arriverai le 5 août à 11:43 sur le
« Chief », espère bien que nous déjeunerons ensemble. Vous me manquez tant. Dans la paix de
ce couvent, au milieu de ces femmes que leur certitude fait souriantes, près de Sister Edward,
j’oublie un peu tout ce qui rend tout de plus en plus intolérable, fausses valeurs, fausses
ambitions, fausses idées. Que dis-je : le manque de valeurs, l’absence d’idées, et une satisfaction
devant ce néant, pas trop bête, pas trop triste.
Même ici, où l’on n’est plus isolé comme on l’était à Sinsinawa, l’air apporte encore de cette
poussière que rien n’arrête.
Mais il suffit de rentrer dans la Chapelle, de reprendre un des livres qui demeurent les piliers,
puis relire une de vos œuvres, pour se dire qu’après tout, ce qui seul demeurera de notre
misérable temps, vaut de durer, et domine nos erreurs, nos aveuglements, nos faiblesses.
Quel bonheur que vous soyez-là [sic], et quelle chance que les Sachs restent à Santa Barbara !
J’espère que vous viendrez souvent. J’ai tant besoin de vous.
Pour Vera et pour vous, toute ma tendresse.
Je vous embrasse
Nadia
[P.-S.] Sister Edward vous envoie bien des pensées. Chaque jour, elle prie pour vous.

My dear Nadia,
It’s been a bit less than a month since we have had word from you. Would you be so very kind to
send us something, if only a postcard? I know that it is not always easy. All the same, we await
news and hope that everything is more or less as usual for you.
We have already been here for three weeks. My concerts here and in San Diego (after some very
hard work, about the same as in Boston but complicated by a bad head cold) were a great
success. Now I won’t conduct my symphony again until July, in Mexico City.
With regards to the latter: I spoke with Mr. Ernest R. Voigt about this (Associated Music
Publishers, Inc., 25 West 45th Street, New York City) and he promised me that he would send
you (as soon as he receives the material from here) a part for each instrument as well as the
orchestral score. The parts will be untouched, i.e., full of errors, and the orchestral score will be
the grey one with which you already are familiar. If you need mine (the black one) I will send it
to you, but I prefer to keep it here (I may need it.)
There are lots of people here and we are having great difficulty finding a house as a permanent
residence—everything is taken and the horrors leftover are priced very high. It is more
advantageous to buy one with a nice little mortgage. That’s what we’ll probably do.
When will we see you again? Is it completely impossible to see you again here this year?
With sincere affection, dear Nadia,
Your,
I Strawinsky
[P.S.] If you have my Ave Maria, my Pater, and my Credo, I would be infinitely grateful if you
could send them to me. I am going to make photostats (photocopies) and give them back to you.
Thanks in advance
[P.P.S.] Please give best regards to the Forbeses from the two of us.
[P.P.P.S.] With wholehearted and fond affection for you, dear Nadia—Vera.

Ma chère Nadia,
Il y a peu pres un mois qu’on est sans nouvelles de vous. Vous serez bien gentille de nous
envoyer ne serai-ce [sic] qu’une carte postale. Je sais que ce n’est pas toujours facile. Nous
l’attendons quand meme et esperons que tout va plus ou moins normalement pour vous.
Nous sommes ici depuis deja trois semaines. Mes concerts ici et a San Diego (apres un travail
tres dur, a peu pres le meme qu’a Boston mais complique d’un mauvais rhume de cerveau) ont
eu un bon succes. Maintenant ce n’est qu’en juillet, a Mexico City, que je dirige ma symphonie.
A propos de cette derniere : j’en ai parle a Mr. Ernest R. Voigt (Associated Music Publishers,
Inc., 25 West 45th Street, New York City) et il m’a promis de vous envoyer (des qu’il recevra le
materiel d’ici) une partie de chaque instrument plus la partition d’orchestre. Les parties serons
[sic] vierges c. a d. plaines [sic] de fautes et la partition d’orch. celle que vous connaissez, la
grise. Si vous en avez besoin de la mienne (la noire) je vous l’enverrai, mais je prefere la garder
ici (j’en aurai peut-etre besoin).
Il y a beaucoup de monde ici et nous avons beaucoup de difficulte de trouver une maison comme
residence permanente tout est pris et les horreurs qui restent encore sont a des prix tres eleves. Il
est plus avantageux d’en acheter avec une bonne petite hypotheque. C’est ce que l’on va
probablement faire.
Quand vous reverra-t-on? Est-ce tout à fait impossible de vous y revoir cette annee encore ici?
Chere Nadia, je vous embrasse tres affectueusement.
Votre,
I Strawinsky
[P.-S.] Si vous avez mon Ave Maria mon Pater et mon Credo je vous serai infiniment
reconnaissant de me le faire parvenir. Je vais faire des photostat [sic] (photocopies) et vous les
rendrai. Merci d’avanse [sic]
[P.P.-S.] Mille choses aux Forbes de nous deux, je vous prie.
[P.P.P.-S.] Je vous embrasse, chère Nadia, de tout mon cœur—Vera.

Dear Friend,
May I place some flowers in front of Catherine’s portrait? When I received here the telegram
announcing that she had finished suffering, I knew that I would never console myself at having
lost her—or at least [at having] to finish the voyage without her.
In her memory, wholeheartedly fond wishes to you,
Nadia

Cher Ami,
Voulez-vous me permettre de déposer ces fleurs devant le portrait de Catherine—quand j’ai reçu,
ici, le cable [sic] m’annonçant qu’elle avait fini de souffrir, j’ai su que je ne me consolerais
jamais de l’avoir perdue—ou du moins de finir le voyage sans elle.
