3Today as soon as I leave off writing to you I want to begin again.

5Do you know we have always 5 or 10 pounds here when we really need it.
6We might feel it necessary for you to stay a little longer at the
7hospital, or anything like that & if so it might be useful to have the
8pounds so we must keep them ready. I don’t mind our spending money
9on necessity, do you, its only when its for pleasure selfish pleasure.
10It’s rather important to me that your mind shouldn’t be worried or
11hurried by little things like that just now. My swan, my swan, that
12nobody knows yet just like I know it. It isn’t the work you will, or
13can do that’s wonderful to me, it’s what you are. Someday when you
14have written & worked & found your place in the world other
15people’ll see you differently, but I’ll see only my old Harry. Not
16more wonderful to me, perhaps in one way less, because now I feel like
17like a man hidden in his hand & nobody knows that he’s got it.

22That nux vomica is so good, so good for me. I feel so strong ^in my head^
23today I can remember every thing! My legs are still just the same, ^but^
24its only the symal “lymphatic system”. I was up much last night
25with the asthma but took chloral.
