    Dear MProfessor Staub,


    Many thanks for your letter, I'm
    so glad the possibilities of publication
    look promising.


    One little point. In Old People's Home
    you translated Hey-day as Jugend;
    Hey-day is Bluterzeit, a product of
    maturity not youth. The fre[]iend I was
    writing about was 56 when I first
    met her.


    With best wishes
    yours ever


    Wystan Auden
