Dear, Dear Friend,
I cannot tell you the feeling here now that it is known that you’re coming. For me, it is a thing of
momentous importance, because I know what you will do for them, and more important, because
I know you will have peace in which to work—this is in the foundation’s program. This is why, I
tell you, I had such a desire to see you be next year’s “Norton’s Lecturer.”
I live in such a rush that I don’t even dare to speak to you. This is not good, but I am always
thinking of you.
The business with Chicago still isn’t sorted out after everything seemed arranged. But I’m going
to Washington next week before leaving for the West to have, finally, a definitive resolution. The
forced departure of Mrs. Carpenter seems to have called everything into question, it is really
disappointing.
Know at least that I will do everything so that things turn out for the best. Sorry!
Fondly, I am your
Nadia B

Cher, Cher Ami,
Je ne peux vous dire le sentiment ressenti ici en apprenant votre venue. Pour moi, c’est quelque
chose d’une importance capitale, car je sais ce que vous ferez pour eux, et surtout la paix que
vous aurez pour travailler, ce qui entre dans le programme de la fondation. C’est vous dire
pourquoi j’avais un tel désir de vous voir être le « Norton’s Lecturer » de l’année prochaine.
Je vis dans une telle hâte, que je n’ose même pas vous parler. Ce n’est pas bien, aussi, mais je
pense à vous, sans cesse.
Les histoires Chicago ne sont pas encore en ordre après que tout semblait arrangé. Mais je vais à
Washington la semaine prochaine avant de partir pour l’Ouest, afin d’avoir enfin une solution
définitive. Le départ forcé de Mrs. Carpenter semble avoir remis tout en question, c’est vraiment
décevant.
Sachez du moins que je ferai tout pour que les choses s’arrangent au mieux de vos interets [sic].
Pardon! [pour une bavure]
Je vous embrasse et suis votre,
Nadia B

Dear Nadia,
How can I thank you for such kind wishes?
Now Sam has also left on the Ile de France (on the 11th). He saw an American woman to whom
Miss [sic] Bliss is sending letters and a copy of your cable (the one to Mrs. Bliss) to let her know
what there was to be done to secure the premiere of my Symphony in the United States next
season. Do you believe there is a possibility of success? My God, I would be so grateful if the
steps you have taken were to have the results we are hoping for.*
Here continual flus keep delaying our trip with Catherine to Pau.
Heartfelt wishes to you, my very dear Nadia. My kindest thoughts to the Carpenters.
Yours,
I Stravinsky
*If this thing becomes a reality, I would very much like to give my manuscript (of the Symphony)
to Mrs Bliss.
[P.S.] Best regards to Sister Edward

Chère Nadia,
Comment vous remercier pour votre [sic] vœux si affectueux ?
Voilà que Sam est également parti en Ile de France (le 11). Il a vu une dame américaine à
laquelle Mlle Bliss envoyer [sic] des lettres et [la] copie de votre câble (à Mme Bliss) pour lui
faire savoir ce qu’il y avait à faire pour avoir la 1ère
de ma Symphonie aux États-Unis la saison
prochaine. Croyez-vous à la possibilité de la réussite ? Mon Dieu, ce que je vous serai
reconnaissant si les démarches que vous avez entreprises ayent le succès qu’on voudrait
espérer*.
Chez nous c’est les grypes [sic] qui continuent ce qui retarde notre voyage avec Catherine à Pau.
De tout cœur je vous embrasse ma très chère Nadia. Mes amitiés les plus cordiales aux
Carpenter.
Votre,
I Stravinsky
*Si la chose se réalise je voudrais tellement donner mon manuscrit (de la Symphonie) à Mme
Bliss
[P.-S.] Profond salut à la sœur Edward

February 21, 1939
Dear Friend,
I think of you every day I have news, but the unbelievable life I lead has not really allowed me to
write to you. Do not believe me inactive, though. I saw the Blisses, the Carpenters, and Mrs.
Lorimer, and things seem finally to have taken shape this week. I hope for a letter from Mrs.
Lorimer in Washington this Friday, when I will be at the Blisses’, and if all procrastination
finally ceases, I will be able to give you detailed news. Such patience is necessary! The
Carpenters and the Blisses truly want to act,, but everything depends on Mrs. Lorimer, because
without her, the amount is incomplete. All this is to say that a lovely letter will head your way,
but you know, don’t you, that I live in the thought of your fears, your hopes, and your work.
Harvard is preparing Oedipus with an indescribable enthusiasm and it is good to know all that
you represent to them. I send both Catherine and you all my deepest affection and remain your
Nadia

Cher Ami,
Je pense à vous chaque jour [où] j’ai des nouvelles, mais la vie invraisemblable que je mène ne
m’a réellement pas permis de vous écrire. Ne me croyez pourtant pas inactive. J’ai vu les Bliss,
les Carpenter, Mme Lorimer, et les choses semblent enfin devoir prendre forme cette semaine.
J’espère une lettre de Mme. Lorimer Vendredi à Washington, où je serai chez les Bliss, et si
enfin les tergiversations cessent, je pourrai vous donner des nouvelles précises. Que de patience
il faut user. Les Carpenters et les Bliss veulent vraiment agir, tout dépend donc de Mme Lorimer,
car sans elle, la somme n’est pas complète. Dire que c’est une belle lettre qui va vers vous, mais
vous savez, n’est-ce-pas, que je vis dans la pensée de vos angoisses, de vos espoirs, et de votre
travail.
Harvard prépare Oedipus avec un enthousiasme indescriptible et cela fait du bien de sentir ce que
vous représentez pour eux. Je vous embrasse, Catherine et vous, avec toute la profonde affection
qui me fait votre,
Nadia
