Dear Stella:
32 BRYANSTON SQUARE LONDON W1 · AMBASSADOR 8906 Oct 24th
Dear Stella:
Many thanks for your letter and the
Drviving licence which I am much relieved
to get.
I can't possibly have the Langers
shivering,so I enclose a cheque for
S.2000 for extra fuel,and will send
more if and when needed.
What is Mr Langers first name.? Does
he understand English? I must write
him a note of welcome.
I leave to-day week for New York.
Address. 77 St Mark's Place. New
York City. New York 10003.
much love and thanks
Wystan

couple
In her memoir "Auden in Kirchstetten", Stella Musulin writes that after the "uprising in Czechoslovakia in August and September 1968", W. H. Auden considered the "idea of lending the house to two Czechs" (217). In Auden's letter to Musulin from 24 October 1968, he refers to the couple as "the Langers". Eventually, these plans did not materialize. In his letter from 6 November 1968, Auden expresses his relief: "Of course, selfishly, I'm rather relieved. How horrid one is!"
