December 1958[^1]

[^1: This letter to which Auden and Kallman refer in the letter of 6 January 1959 cannot be found, but – as Henze recounts in his Autobiography (p. 201-202) – he wrote to Auden in December 1958 asking him with great humility if, possibly, he would be willing to collaborate with him to write an opera (with or without Chester Kallman).]
