(2:45. I read the rough draft of the letter to Maude Cardwell to Jane, who really liked it. She suggested an insert about the Rembrandt book, which I added. I hope to type it tomorrow, before Loren and Betts arrive at about 11:00 AM. We finished our discussion about the fund idea at 3:15. Jane didn’t think I’d overdone it in my letter, although I still wondered.

The medical profession unwittingly promotes the idea of illness above health, and in its devotion to uncovering disease it often completely forgets the entire concept of the body’s natural defenses and vitality. All of these ideas unfortunately become a part of people’s daily lives, undermining their assurance, pride, and almost obscuring the body’s natural state of exuberance and strength.

(4:35 PM. I didn’t ask Seth to comment on the fund idea. It was soon time to turn Jane and massage her with Oil of Olay. She ate well after I’d had a nap. Our early evening hour passed as usual until I was getting ready to put on my jacket to leave.

(7:12 PM. I was glad I’d stayed. Jane had a cigarette while I packed my stuff to leave. Unexpectedly, I’d stumbled across several questions. Above all, I didn’t want the fund idea, say, to lead to complications with the insurance deal, I told Jane, or perhaps to lead to a failure of a settlement there. That is, I didn’t want to desert the insurance angle; I felt we were owed something there. I knew full well that new events brought in new probabilities. This morning while working on the letter to Maude Cardwell, I guess I’d blithely took it for granted that the fund idea might supplement any insurance benefits. But then after supper, as I talked with Seth, I found myself wondering whether the fund thing would cause enough of a change in our probabilities to perhaps negate the insurance settlement, whatever it might be. I do have faith that we’ll be treated fairly. I want to note that I have faith that all will work out, that I’m not running from one hope to another while deserting previous ones.)
