Dear Friend,
To see you when one is at the height of exhaustion seems a folly and a crime! But now that you
are not coming—and that I risk not seeing you for many months, I am very simply, but
profoundly, sad.
I am going to try to spend a few days in Santa Barbara before going back to Boston, but . . . will
this be possible?
Truly, except for financially, it was a marvelous thing to be sick last year!!
Hugs to both of you, I am with all my heart
Your
Nadia B

Cher Ami,
Vous voir quand on est au comble de l’abrutissement semble une folie et un crime ! Mais
maintenant que vous ne venez pas—et que je risque de ne pas vous voir pendant des longs mois,
je suis triste, bien simplement, mais profondément.
Je vais essayer de passer quelques jours à Santa-Barbara, avant de rentrer à Boston, mais…sera-
ce possible ?
Au fond, sinon matériellement, ç’a été une merveilleuse affaire d’être malade l’an dernier !!
Je vous embrasse tous deux et suis de tout cœur
Votre
Nadia B
