8 Have you worked out much in your long time of quiet? I have done
9nothing in the last 9 weeks, I have been in vigorous health but
10mentally unfit. Do you know how you hate yourself when such times of
11blank & weakness come? If one could lay it on the body one wouldn’t
12mind. I find some relief in thinking of your work. Every one is not
13wasting their lives. I hope you have come back very fit for three
14months lectures.
