The book has arrived, I am reading it eagerly and thank you both, Bob and you, Dear Friend,
with all my heart. I hear again the comments made at Gargenville, here, at Foch Avenue—and
you rekindle them in such a way that the eyes and ears are revived by these distant voices.
And how many things most people, fortunately, will not see! Concerning the Monumentum—
each note is significant . . . alas, I cannot write [about] it. It seems to me that I see, and read, and
understand. It’s sad not being able to communicate it, and above all perfectly useless.
All my heartfelt love,
Your
Nadia B
P.S. My tenderness to Vera and best wishes to Bob—how intelligent he is! A constant joy. And
the strength of all that you keep silent wells up—and drives everything.

Le livre est arrivé, je le lis avec avidité et vous remercie, Bob et vous, Cher Ami, de tout
cœur. J’entends encore bien des propos qui ont été tenus, à Gargenville, ici, avenue
Foch—et vous les ravivez de telle manière que les yeux et les oreilles se réveillent à ces
voix lointaines.
Et que de choses d’une portée que tout le monde, heureusement, ne verra pas ! Quant aux
Monumentum—chaque note est signification—hélas, que ne sais-je écrire. Il me semble
que je vois, et lis, et comprends—Triste de ne pouvoir le communiquer—et au surplus
parfaitement inutile.
Vous embrasse, et suis du meilleur de mon cœur,
Votre
Nadia B
[P.-S.] Ma tendresse à Vera et tant d’amitiés à Bob—qu’il est donc intelligent ! Une joie
constante. Et la force de tout ce que vous taisez, qui sourd—pousse tout.
