(Yesterday we also had two unexpected visitors, as well as a brief call from a young man who had called on us unannounced with a friend, last week. The two women were from Arizona and Massachusetts; the former had flown here to see Jane unannounced. I turned her away at the door with a promise that Jane would call her at the Holiday Inn. Shortly after she left, the second caller, a “parapsychologist” from a college in Massachusetts, was camping in Pine Valley with her family.

He can stand up and hold on to something, and exercise them, even if he has had to have chairs about while walking from place to place. The balance of the body is changing. The eyes will continue to improve. Fear, his and yours, makes him concentrate upon the body’s sensations too much, and that prevents him from the frame of mind necessary for his writing.

He might have died of heart trouble by the age of 40, for literally his heart would have been broken, and communication between the two of you would have quite fallen away. His heart is as strong as an ox (definitely). Do not think then that your creative endeavors have caused you difficulties, or that without them life would have been a bed of roses.
