Many thanks for your letter. Of course,

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!"
