(I asked Jane several times after supper if she wanted to have a session tonight. She’d had an enjoyable, rather heavy supper of hash and eggs and toast, plus ice cream, and began dozing in her chair as soon as she’d finished eating. While she was thinking it over—at my urging, periodically—I went into my writing room to do some work on the intro for Dreams. Finally at 8:55 she decided to try for a session in spite of being “so far out of it.” And she was out of it, but determined to do something. I said anything would help, if we were to continue trying to accomplish anything with this series of sessions.

You are (underlined) progressing since our sessions began. It must have come to your attention that I have mentioned the nature of your love for each other many times—often when you would have preferred some other material —but I do again want to stress it as a vital ingredient in Ruburt’s recovery. But not only that: its importance in both of your lives now as you find yourselves turning new corners—for they will also be corners of achievement.
(Long pause at 9:28.) In all cases, or in most cases of illness-like difficulties, the question of isolation always enters in, and this is a matter I want to speak about in general, because of its implications in any kind of mental or physical treatment. You should see some more improvements, both in spirit and in mind very shortly, and you have me on the line for that remark—but for now I bid you a fond good evening.
