I await the confirmation of this event with great impatience. 2) I wonder if Mme. Milhaud, who died in January, left orders with her associate in Switzerland, P. Rosa, a cousin of Darius, to continue payments to my daughter Milene. Otherwise I cannot explain the recent payment made to Milene which Theodore tells me about. [...] 4) As to us, thanks to God, we are very well. \u003c\/span\u003eWe see Nadia Boulanger, who is staying with the Arthur Sachs family near here, in Santa Barbara, occasionally. I had a group of very successful concerts in Boston in January, where my Symphony (the 5 year old one), as well as my new compositions (written 2 years ago), the ‘Four Norwegian Moods’ and the ‘Circus Polka\"; the radio program had considerable success. At the beginning of the season Koussevitsky conducted my Ode, a 3-part composition written in memory of his wife, who died a year ago. If I could send microphotos of my recent compositions to Switzerland, I would have done so long ago. The Hindemith Variations…were exceptionally lucky in that respect. 5) I send my most affectionate wishes to Theodore on his birthday and happy Easter to everyone.
