“
Last year Meyer wrote a little report on my German seminar.This year, he tried it again, but
it turned out all wrong, mired down in emotional mush. I suppressed it.Would you be inter-
ested in doing something of that sort—with the necessary prudence? It wouldn’t have to be
anything long; just not ‘metaphorical,’ but rather stressing the epistemological difficulty.
“
Incidentally, I’m afraid that I haven’t yet congratulated you on the birth of a physical offshoot
. . . .The ways of the Lord are marvelous.Amen. One can do nothing of significance differently.
You can tell from this insight that I am getting old.”

“
. . . I am so glad you are being so energetic about the play. Don’t let the men get the best of it
in the big scene. I think its better to make Gladys madly in love with the artist if you make
him one, but I should be inclined to make him a Lord Burghersh [&] an eldest son. I think the
sympathy would be greater, & artists are rather too much used on the stage.”
