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
