(Debbie Harris visited Jane last night. When I got to 330 this afternoon Jane told me about an excellent dream she’d had last night. It involved her putting on blue jeans and a belt, and rolling on the bed to get the jeans on the way she used to do. The belt was her old favorite.

(Her progress is excellent now, but home in two months? I said I thought it was okay to have such thoughts, but one didn’t need to fasten upon them. Letting nature—her body—take its own course was just as good a way, I told her. And who knows—we might be very pleasantly surprised....
