(I was beginning to get glimmerings of a number of questions that, as far as I knew, I hadn’t been stewing about, at least consciously. I was surprised. “I was wondering if our going with the fund idea would knock us into another probability,” I said to Seth—and already I knew the answer, since it wasn’t a very bright question.)
Any new events brings with it new probabilities—and since you are now on a favorable road of probabilities those doors that open will also be advantageous. Do you follow my meaning?
(“Yes,” I said. “But I wasn’t necessarily thinking that the insurance probabilities wouldn’t work out.” I wanted to say more, but felt too constrained by time and my own groping questions to speak clearly.)

(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.)
