Dear Marion,

I neglected to answer your question about whether
you should urge Margrit to stay at a Bed and Breakfast
in Konnarock, specifically the one 500 feet from our
house rather than one 15 miles away. I believe her plan
to be fundamentally impractical, perhaps insane. Her
decision to avoid the bed and breakfast eminently
convenient in favor of one that is unnecessarily far away
is emblematic of the irrationality of her endeavor.
Staying overnight in Konnarock as opposed to Rugby
would not make her plan rational. I'm grateful to you,
and not at all critical, for your efforts to help Margrit
carry out her scheme but I'm not persuaded that there is
any chance of success.

Do you think it would be helpful for us to discuss this
on the phone? If so, e-mail me the number and time when
I should call you, or telephone me at any time at 617-484-8109.
Thank you very much for your sympathy and for your attempt
to help.  Jochen
