Rudolf Bing writes, 29 October 1939, “Busch got safely back to Sweden and has taken up his work there; Ebert left about a week ago again for Ankara and will probably remain there for some months. The Christies are in Devonshire and my wife and myself are staying at Glyndebourne. We have the whole place here full of evacuated babies and nurses and though we are glad that Glyndebourne, even now, can serve a useful purpose, the sight of it is heart-breaking. You cannot imagine what your, and all the other dressing rooms, dining rooms and the whole ground floor of the private house look like! In spite of all this, our initiative has not yet been crushed and we are working hard to get some artistic activities going.”
