in order to make things clear, and as buzzetto is arrabbiato
con me
: all those things went by phone, and my inter-
ference was more than limited: When Ebert had said he
couldn’t do the production himself* I was glad to
prospone[sic]
‡ my
friend Visconti, who is very important for my life. But while I
tried to get hold of him, one went on in Berlin. Only when
Ebert had left they called me again telling me about Steckel.
I did protest wildly, but it was too late, and Gutheim told me
at the phone if I wanted the opera done I ought to stop
protesting at once. I got very sour but had to give in. Nobody
had told me that Butzi was called to Berlin. When I learnt it,
I had already contacted Luchino, to whom if he would have
accepted, a negative answer after such a storm of calls w
o
‡uld
have been a stronger offense than that one Butzi got, and he
sure didn’t get it from me. This I want to make clear.
As you see by my handwriting* I’m much better. Lots of work is
waiting for me, and no holiday this year. I’m dreaming of
Spain and next winter I shall take Spanish lessons. I envy you
both you can go there. The idea I gotta‡ go to Berlin in August
is more than horrifying.* Especially as my life here is very nice
and calm. A big hug and kisses to you and buzzetto your
