Dear Nadia,
Having received word from Ghiringhelli, I was finally able to sort out the story of the Rake’s. In
fact, they didn’t send you my own copies (complete opera in three volumes) but two volumes
(acts 1 and 2) which were all that Boosey & Hawkes had, and which they had made available to
La Scala.
According to the preceding letter you see that you are going to receive the three volumes. Decide
for yourself what you want to do with the other two, or, to be safe, ask Boosey & Hawkes what
they would like to do about them.
Love,
I Str.

Chere Nadia,
Ayant recu un mot de Ghiringhelli j’ai enfin pu y voir clair dans l’histoire des volumes du Rake.
On vous en effet envoyé non pas mes exemplaires a moi (opera complet en 3 volumes) mais 2
volumes (actes 1 et 2) qui etaient tout ce que Boosey & Hawkes possedaient alors, et qu’ils
avaient mis a la disposition de la Scala.
D’apres ce qui precede vous verrez que vous allez recevoir les 3 volumes. Decidez vous-meme
ce que vous voulez faire des deux autres ou, pour etre plus en surete, demandez vous-meme a
Boosey & Hawkes ce qu’ils veulent en faire.
Love
I Str.
