To Mrs. William Stix [Yaltah
Menuhin],
Apr. 11, [1939]
; Princeton
Yehudi surprised her for Easter with some
recordings made in England not released in the U.S. One
was their recording of Mozart's Sonata in
B-flat. Has enjoyed it. Glad she is living where the weather is sunny. Very cold in New York. P.S.: Stephen is at Rhodes.

To Yaltah Menuhin,
Monday night
[Feb. 27, 1939, pm. Feb. 28, 1939]
, from New York
; Princeton
Has heard from her mother that she has
bronchitis. Is enjoying the miniature orange tree she sent. Yehudi is in Jaffrey
enjoying the snow and the mountains [?—see #1438].
Mozart once wrote, "Happiness? That is in
the imagination"—may mean that happiness is not real or may mean that only people
with imagination can be happy. Real seeing, like real happiness, is inward. Now will use
imagination and think of Yaltah as being well.
