Boulanger to Stravinsky
Featherhill Ranch

Santa Barbara, California
Monsieur I. Strawinsky
Dec. 12, 1943
Dear Igor
1) Sister Edward Blackwell Edgewood College, Madison Road
2) have written to Neff[sic]
3) have written to Olga
4) Here are three ex. from the lecture in English
5) To type them in French, she asks 8 to 10 dollars. She must do it by the hour, because she types
slowly in French. What do you think? I will keep the French in the meantime.
6) Will pass all the arrangements on to you, arrival and departure times for Madison.
7) Would you like me to keep the third copy of the lecture? I will send it to you immediately if
you’d prefer to have it. You can give it to me on your way back, as always, if it suits you.
8) Here is the telegram from Neff[sic]
9) Have nothing from Sister E. on the matter. I told her that you agreed to come for a fee of $250
plus expenses. Of course, she simply told me that would be fine.
I hope I haven't forgotten anything. I send you my heartfelt affection and am sad not to see you
before Christmas, but . . . I am always with you,
Nadia

Cher Igor
1) Sister Edward Blackwell Edgewood College, Madison Road
2) ai écrit Neff [sic]
3) ai écrit Olga
4) Voilà 3 ex. de la conférence en anglais
5) pour la taper en français elle demande 8 à 10 dollars. Elle doit le faire à l’heure car elle va
lentement en français, que décidez-vous? Je garde le français en attendant.
6) Vous communiquerai tous les arrangements, heures de départ et d’arrivée pour Madison.
7) Voulez-vous bien que je garde la 3è copie de la conférence. Je vous l’enverrai aussitôt si vous
préférez l’avoir. Vous me la donnerez en revenant, toujours si cela vous convient.
8) Voici la dépêche de Neff [sic]
9) N’ai rien de Sister E. à ce sujet. Lui ai dit que vous consentiez à venir moyennant un
dédommagement de $250 et les frais, c’est entendu, elle m’a seulement dit d’accord.
J’espère que je n’ai rien oublié. Je vous embrasse de tout mon cœur et suis triste de ne pas vous
voir pr. Noël, mais…je suis toujours avec vous.
Nadia
