My Dear Friend,
I’ve received numerous letters following Perséphone. You must have been, I believe, content
with this concert, with this program, with what you achieved for a performance. Father Fortier
(the one who was at Santa Barbara) wrote to me that the broadcast in Canada was marvelous.
What nostalgia at not being there!
You will receive a letter from Winifred Johnstone concerning the Lili Boulanger Foundation. I
believe that you’ll be able to sign the ballot sheet without reservation in support of Bhatia, a very
gifted young Hindu who is very sick, [and] whom this bursary would help so much. And for Per
Nørgard, a young Dane, who is a real musician. It seems to me that these two boys truly deserve
this award.
I won’t tell you again everything that keeps me close [to you]. My fond wishes to you both and a
thousand to Bob,
Your
Nadia

Mon Cher Ami,
Ai reçu des lettres nombreuses après Perséphone. Vous avez, je crois, dû être content de
ce concert, de ce programme, de ce que vous avez obtenu comme exécution. La diffusion
était merveilleuse m’a écrit l’abbé Fortier (celui qui était à Santa Barbara) du Canada.
Quelle nostalgie de n’être pas là !
Vous allez recevoir une lettre de Winifred Johnstone à propos de la fondation Lili
Boulanger. Je crois que vous pouvez signer en toute tranquillité le bulletin de vote pour
Bhatia un jeune hindou très doué, très malade, que cette bourse aidera tant. Et pour Per
Nørgard un jeune danois, un vrai musicien. Il me semble que ces deux garçons méritent
vraiment cette bourse.
Ne vous redis pas tout ce qui me fait si proche. Je vous embrasse tous deux, Mille
pensées à Bob,
Votre
Nadia
