My Dearest Ones,
Will be at the Bauer on the 8th. It’s terrible to wait, my impatience to see you again is so great, to
hear the Canticum and Choral. I had better keep quiet, because I’m incapable of expressing what
these works call for.
My love and deepest affection to you both,
NB
[P.S.] Impossible to obtain a room before the 8th, will therefore be at the Jolly Ravenna Hotel
from the 5th to the 8th; am also looking forward to seeing the mosaics. Annette Dieudonné,
Winifred Johnstone, and one of my Indian students will all be there on the 8th.
[P.P.S.] What an incredible story concerning seats—Oh well, we’ll fight them if we have to!

Mes très Chers,
Serai au Bauer le 8—terrible d’attendre, si grande est mon impatience vous revoir, entendre
Canticum et Choral. Mieux vaut que je me taise puisque je suis incapable de dire ce que de telles
œuvres appellent.
Je vous embrasse avec toute ma profonde affection,
NB
[P.-S.] Impossible d’obtenir une chambre avant le 8, suis donc du 5 ou 8 Hotel Joly Ravenne, au
surplus[,] heureuse de voir les mosaïques. Annette Dieudonné, Winifred Johnstone, un de mes
élèves indiens serons tous là le 8.
[P.P.-S.] Quelle histoire incroyable au sujet des places—enfin, on se battra si nécessaire !

Dear Nadia,
Helen, with whom I spoke on the telephone just a moment ago, will have told you that my father
urgently requests his score for Perséphone. I hope that she will have understood (we couldn’t
hear one another very well). To be safe, I’m quickly sending you this letter.
The American ambassador to Italy, Mr. James Clément Dunn, is in Paris these days and must
return to America [after]. My father asked him to be so kind as to bring with him several scores
(among them his manuscript for Perséphone) which he needs most urgently. All that needs to be
done then is to drop them off at the embassy marked for Mr. I. Str., care of The Honorable James
Clément Dunn.
The manuscript can still be found at your place, in the safe. It could wait for my return, but that
would probably be too late.
You are no doubt in London at the moment. We return on the 25th. I have finally gotten over a
nasty flu picked up in Holland and am attempting to take advantage of a marvelous country and
weather that seems made to order.
Annette sent me the enrollment brochure for your Wednesday course. I am rather unsure I could
attend regularly and so I dare not enroll. I’m terribly sorry about that. Would you allow me
anyway, dear Nadia, to attend when it is possible for me to do so? Françoise is pulling her hair
out at the idea that she is a civil servant and won’t be free either
We both send you all our affection,
Your
S. Strawinsky

Chère Nadia,
Hélène avec qui j’ai parlé tout à l’heure au téléphone vous aura dit que mon père demande
d’urgence sa partition de Perséphone. J’espère qu’elle aura bien compris (on s’entendait assez
mal). Pour être plus sûr je vous adresse rapidement ces lignes.
Mr. James Clément Dunn, ambassadeur des U.S.A. en Italie se trouve ces jours-ci à Paris et doit
prochainement regagner l’Amérique. Mon père l’a prié de bien vouloir se charger de quelques
partitions (dont son manuscrit de Perséphone) dont il a le plus urgent besoin. Il suffit donc de le
faire disposer à l’ambassade pour Mr. I. Str. aux bons soins de The Honorable James Clément
Dunn.
C’est encore une chance que le manuscrit se trouve chez vous, dans le coffre[.] il me pourrait
qu’attendre mon retour et ca serait probablement trop tard.
Vous serez sans doute à Londres à ce moment, nous rentrons vers le 25. Je me remets enfin
d’une méchante grippe contractée en Hollande et tâche de profiter de mon mieux d’un pays
merveilleux et d’un temps qui semble fait sur commande.
Annette m’a fait parvenir un bulletin d’inscription pour votre cours du mercredi. Je suis si peu
sûr de pouvoir y assister régulièrement que je n’ose m’inscrire et j’en suis désolé. Me
permettrez-vous tout de même, chère Nadia, d’y venir quand cela me sera possible ? Françoise
s’arrache les cheveux à l’idée qu’elle est fonctionnaire et ne peut non plus se libérer.
Nous vous embrassons tous deux de toute notre affection.
Votre
S. Strawinsky

Dear Friend,
Would you please sign this and send it back to me straight away? I trust that you will agree.
1) Arthur is the one who gave the sum so that Couture can work here.
2) This is the bursary awarded last year (you had already signed)
3) Bursary to be shared between these two young Poles with real talent (they have written
good quartets, symphonies) [and] are dying of hunger in France
4) Preger? I did not recommend him to you.
I have received many letters from France. It is a tragic situation. Annette works at the
Conservatoire—thirty and more than thirty at my place. hey are all hungry, and [have] nothing to
wear, money is less useful than supplies. I am deeply unhappy, but this is fair, punishment will
come . . . we don’t know when, but it surely will. Forgiven, yes, God forgives. I believe it very
strongly, but if He wasn’t [actually] punishing us, it [is] enough to have given us a conscience!
I am thinking of you and love you, both of you,
Fondly and with love to you both,
Nadia

Cher Ami,
Voulez-vous bien signer ceci et me le renvoyer d’urgence. Je crois que vous serez d’accord.
1. C’est Arth. qui a donné la somme pour que Couture puisse travailler ici.
2. C’est la bourse attribuée l’an dernier (vous aviez déjà signé)
3. Bourse à partager entre ces deux jeunes Polonais de vrai talent (ont écrit de bons quatuors,
symphonies) sont mourant[s] de faim de France
4. Preger? je n’ai pas à vous le recommander.
Reçu pas mal de lettres de France. C’est une situation tragique. Annette travaille au
Conservatoire—30, chez moi + 30. Ils ont tous faim, et rien à se mettre, l’argent, moins utile que
les provisions. Je suis bien malheureuse, mais c’est juste, comme la punition vient, quand…on ne
sait pas, mais sûrement. Pardonné, oui, Dieu pardonne. Je le crois si fermement, mais s’Il ne
nous punissait pas, d’avoir mis en nous, la conscience, cela était assez!
Je vous embrasse et vous aime, vous deux,
Si profondément
Nadia
