Finally found a Littré, Dear Igor. But $60.00—$28.00 is better. I didn’t dare take it—but if you
want it, say the word—because the new copy is $100.00 and it seems improbable that we’ll find
others.
I’m taking the train in a few moments which explains my somewhat frantic letter. But know that
I think of you both all the time.
Fond regards,
Nadia

Enfin trouvé un [sic] littré [sic], Cher Igor—Mais—$60.00—le mieu [sic], $28.00. Je n’ai pas
osé le prendre—si vous le voulez pourtant, dire [sic] un mot—car l’exemplaire neuf lui est à
100.00 et il semble improbable qu’on en trouve d’autres.
Prends le train dans quelques instants ce qui explique ce mot [quasi] fébrile—vous sentirez
pourtant tous deux que je pense à tous deux sans cesse.
Je vous embrasse
