My dear Nadia,
I was quite disappointed to learn the results of your investigation at rue d’Anjou concerning the
French version of The Rake. I would like to believe that it is not a complete catastrophe but
limited to a few places.
I just wrote to Dr. Roth to ask him to get in touch with you immediately to place you in charge of
putting all this in order. Otherwise, I do not know who to contact and you are in a position to
choose someone competent in the matter. As for myself, I am too far away and don't have the
time.
Keep me up to date about what comes of this.
Tell me as well for which audience you gave your lectures about The Rake to in Monaco.
Still no decision from the Paris Opera. But the programs that have already arrived here announce
a heap of Strauss operas and The Rake isn't mentioned in them . . .
Fond wishes,
I Str.

Chere Nadia,
J’ai été assez deçu en apprenant les resultats de votre enquete rue d’Anjou au sujet du Rake en
francais. Je veux bien croire que la catastrophe n’est pas generale et qu’elle se limite a certaines
places.
Je viens d’ecrire au Dr. Roth en lui demandant de se mettre immediatement en rapport avec vous
pour vous charger de mettre ordre a cela. Autrement, je ne sais pas a qui m’adresser et vous etes
a meme de choisir quelqu’un de competent en la matiere. Quant a moi jesuis [sic] trop loin et
n’ai pas le temps.
Tenez-moi au courant de ce qui en advient.
Dites-moi aussi pour quel auditoire vous etes allée donner vos conferences sur le Rake a
Monaco.
Toujours pas de decision de l’Opera de Paris. Mais les programmes deja parvenus ici annoncent
un tas d’operas de Strauss et le Rake n’y est pas mentionné…
Je vous embrasse affectueusement.
I Str.

Stravinsky to Georgina and Arthur Sachs
April 31, 1941
Very dear friends,
Two words to ask you how things are going and if you’ve had troubling news regarding Nadia. I
did not write to her, not wishing to tire her with the obligation of responding if she still feels
weak right now. I would absolutely like to see her again before her departure, which is why I
would be infinitely grateful if you could let me know what has been decided with respect to her.
I received a letter from my son, Théodore. Indeed, it is as I had told you the other day: he is
asking me to find someone in France who would help him in his very difficult situation —he
finds himself like a prisoner in his town (Villemur, Haute-Garone) without being able to do the
least sort of work to feed himself or [to acquire] the basic necessities of life, which is already
hard enough. May his sense of liberty remain as it was before his internment. Would you know,
my dear friend, whom I might contact, either the Minister of the Interior or of Justice? Maybe
Nadia, who also wanted to intervene to help Théodore, could give you some useful advice?
Thank you, and thank you again to the both of you for the lovely days spent at your home with
you,
Your
I. Str.

Très chers amis,
Deux mots pour vous demander comment cela va et si vous n’avez pas eu des [sic] nouvelles
inquiétudes au sujet de Nadia. Je ne lui écris pas ne sachant plus voulant plus la fatiguer avec une
reponse [sic] si des fois elle se sentait encore faible. Je voudrai absolument la revoir encore avant
son depart [sic] c’est pourquoi je vous serai infiniment reconnaissant de me faire savoir ce qui est
decidé [sic] à son sujet.
J’ai reçu la lettre de mon fils Th. En effet c’est comme je vous l’avait [sic] dit l’autre jour : il me
demande de lui trouver en France quelqu’un qui l’aiderait dans sa situation si difficile–il se
trouve comme prisonnier dans son village (Villemur, Hte Garronne [sic]) sans pouvoir faire des
œuvres les plus ordinaires pour son alimentation et les besoins courants de la vie déjà sans cela
assez dure [sic]. Qu’en lui encore sa liberté comme avant sa captivité. Sauriez-y, ma chère amie,
à qui s’adresser, au ministre de l’intérieur ou à celui de la justice. Peut-etre [sic] Nadia qui
voulait aussi intervenir pour aider Th. pourrait vous donner un conseil utile.
Encore et encore merci a [sic] vous deux que vous deux [illegible strike out] de ces bonnes deux
journées passées son chez vous et avec vous,
Votre
I Str.
