He is still waiting impatiently for Mrs. Bliss’s letter, which has not yet arrived. I am very happy to be able to give you better news about my father-in-law today. I would not hide from you that, after arriving here, following the painful misfortunes we have had, we were a bit frightened to learn of his illness, because the doctor has not hidden from us that he foresaw the possibility of an operation (either for a pneumothorax or a more serious procedure) if he did not see rapid progress and then just today (we go to the clinic every week for X-rays). Today, the doctor saw that the sick lung has cleared up and that he has gained 1.2 kg since our arrival here, which is an excellent sign. It was hugely important for the doctor to see his natural resistance and defenses. All of this has given us great confidence and allowed us to consider the future with greater clarity. My father-in-law thus thinks he will be able to do his American tour, leaving here in the first half of January. There is one point that needs clarifying. I have therefore written to Dushkin asking him to find out what has become of the Copley agency that took over my father-in-law’s interests. Dear Mademoiselle, my father-in-law would like to write you personally to tell you again how grateful he was for all you have done, but he spends these days in bed, resting as much as possible. One day soon, when he is able to resume his normal work, he will write to you. With deepest and most respectful friendship, Denise Strawinsky. � Denise Strawinsky à Boulanger Sancellemoz Haute Savoie jeudi 6 avril 1939 Chère Mademoiselle, Mon beau-père vous remercie beaucoup pour votre lettre du 15 mars, et vous pouvez penser combien il a été heureux à la nouvelle que tout est fait au sujet de la Symphonie et il vous remercie encore très chaleureusement de toute la peine que vous avez prise et de tout le cœur que vous y avez mis. Il attend avec beaucoup d’impatience la lettre promise de madame Bliss qui n’est toujours pas arrivée. Je suis très heureuse de pouvoir aujourd’hui vous donner de meilleurs [sic] nouvelles de mon beau-père, je ne vous cacherais pas qu’en arrivant ici, après les pénibles malheurs que nous avons eu[s], nous avons été un peu effrayées du mal que [l’]on lui a découvert, car le docteur ne nous a pas caché qu’il entrevoyait la possibilité d’une intervention (soit un pneumothorax soit même une intervention plus grave) s’il ne voyait pas de progrès rapides et voila [sic] qu’aujourd’hui (nous passons toutes les semaines au servis médical pour être vu à la scopie), le [poumon malade s’est nettement éclairsi [sic] et il a repris 1kg.200—depuis notre arrivée ici, ce qui est un indice excellent. C’est vous le pensez bien d’une importance capitale pour le docteur de voir sa resistance [sic] et sa défense.] docteur, en le passant à la respire, a vu que le poumon malade s’est nettement éclairé et lui-même a repris 1kg 200 depuis notre arrivée ici ce qui est un indice excellent—C’était d’une importance capitale pour le docteur de voir sa résistance et sa défense naturelle. Tout ceci nous a donné une grande confiance et nous a permis d’envisager avec plus de carté [sic] l’avenir. Mon beau-père pense donc pouvoir faire sa tournée en Amerique [sic], partir d’ici [1ere] moitié janvier. Il y a un point qu’il faut qu’il éclaircisse. J’ai d’ailleurs écrit à Dushkine [sic] lui demandant de le faire. C’est de savoir qu’est devenu l’agence Copley qui a pris en mains les intérêts de mon beau père. Chère Mademoiselle mon beau-père voulait vous écrire personnellement pour vous dire encore combien il vous était reconnaissant pour tout ce que vous avez fait, mais tous ces jours il passe encore son temps au lit pour se reposer complètement, un de ces tous prochains jours, dès qu’il reprendra son travail normalement il vous écrira. Je vous demande de croire, chère Mademoiselle, à ma très respectueuse et profonde sympathie.

Denise wrote me the most moving and tender letter you could imagine. Thank her for me. What a heart she has! These words are improper, and I cannot say anything to you. But every day I understand your importance a little more, and I pray to God that you understand it, too. Perhaps you will find the courage to fight on. But . . . I know, and I know that time cannot heal such wounds. However, it seems to me that the memory of Catherine, her dear soul, will remain around you. Like a blessing, without a word, I would like to comfort you and cry with you. Time now moves so terribly slowly with work and wears on my heart, but I will be there in July. Then I will come to you. To have succeeded with the Harvard plan would have been a joy—maybe next year!

We have just settled in in Sancellemoz, because, unfortunately, my father-in-law, given his generally weakened state caused by the dreadful days he had just endured, had another pulmonary embolism, like the one he had two years ago in America. The doctors said he needed to treat it most seriously, and to be rested and well [he must] submit to this isolation. He has therefore moved his headquarters here, where he can work in the greatest tranquility without the thousand worries and preoccupations there are in the city—He will promote his European tours from here. As for my sister-in-law, Milène and myself, we both greatly needed rest and have come to live close to him. Théodore is also with us. Now he is in the best condition for his work. Just think, dear Mademoiselle, how hard it was to cut the family in two, but there was no other solution. So Nini stayed in Paris with his grandmother and Madubo. They are understood to be leaving the Faubourg apartment which is linked to too many dreadful memories (and would also be too expensive). All three of them are going to go live in our small apartment on rue Antoine Chantin. My father-in-law finds himself forced to abandon his American tour for next December, even though this has resulted in many weighty concerns for him, but this time it is necessary that he follow the doctor’s orders completely in order to recover fully. I know how precious your time is but I also know how happy my father-in-law would be to have news from you, if that were possible, and I ask you to believe, Dear Mademoiselle, in my deepest and most respectful affection, Denise Strawinsky. P.S. As a matter of course, as far as Durkheim’s concerned, to whom I have just written, my father-in-law is not telling anyone he is obligated to take a restorative break . . . � Denise Strawinsky à Boulanger Sancellemoz Haute-Savoie France 23 mars [19]39 Chère Mademoiselle, Si je me permets de vous écrire c’est que mon beau-père, qui a été affreusement éprouvé par le terrible malheur qui vient de nous arriver, n’est pas en état de pouvoir écrire et m’a demandé de le faire à sa place et de vous dire combien il a été profondément touché de votre lettre. Nous venons de nous installer à Sancellemoz, car hélas, mon beau-père a eu un nouvel accident pulmonaire, comme celui qu’il a eu il y a deux ans en Amerique [sic], étant donné son état général affaibli, par les atroces jours qu’il vient de passer. Les médecins ont dit qu’il fallait prendre la chose avec le plus grand sérieux pour arriver avec la repos et le bon air, à envoyer complètement cette isolation. Il a donc forcé son centre d’attache ici où il peut travailler dans la plus grande tranquillité sans les milles soucis et préoccupations qu’il y a en ville—D’ici il rayonnera pour ses tournées Européennes. Quant à ma belle-sœur Milène et à moi nous avions toutes deux grand besoin de repos et sommes venues vivre ici près de lui, Theodore est aussi avec nous. Or il est dans les meilleures conditions pour son travail. Vous pouvez penser, chère Mademoiselle, combien il a été dur de couper la famille en deux, mais il n’y avait pas d’autre solution. Nini est donc resté à Paris avec sa grand- mère et Mademoiselle, ils ont bien entendu quitter l’appartement du Faubourg où trop d’atroces souvenirs sont liés [et les frais en seraient aussi beaucoup trop considerables]. Ils vont aller vivre tous trois dans notre petit appartement avec Antoine Chantin. Mon beau-père se voit dans l’obligation de renoncer à sa tournée en Amerique [sic] pour décembre prochain, bien que cela entraine [sic] de très lourds soucis pour lui, mais il faut cette fois-ci qu’il suive entièrement les prescriptions du médecin pour arriver à un rétablissement absolu. Je sais combien votre temps est précieux mais je sais aussi combien mon beau-père serait heureux d’avoir de vos nouvelles [si cela est possible] et je vous demande de croire, chère Mademoiselle, à ma très respectueuse et profonde sympathie. Denise Strawinsky. P.S. Bien entendu, à part Durkheim, à qui je viens d’écrire, mon beau-père ne dit absolument à personne qu’il est obligé de ce [repos] séjour… � 1939 Author: Denise Stravinsky Denise Stravinsky Denise Strawinsky Durkheim Location: Sancellemoz Madubo Milène Stravinsky Mina Svitalski Nini Recipient: Nadia Boulanger Soulima Stravinsky Théodore Stravinsky Theodore Strawinsky
