Ruburt’s abilities began to expand again when he realized he would regain his health in the late spring. (Pause.) The book (Psycho-Cybernetics) will do you every bit as much good as it will do Ruburt, and I recommend it heartily, with some variations, as a basis upon which to build the rest of your days.

You will do a painting of the Jesuit (Bill Gallagher) that will become well known. It will be the outgrowth of a conception in the painting sold to Sonya (Carlson, of Johnsonburg, Pennsylvania) of the idea, I believe.
