Dear Benj, Just a note to let you know how much I enjoyed my visit. I found the ambience of Hanover very pleasant. It occurred to me that maybe I myself would have been much better off at Dartmouth than at Harvard. Whenever you think another visit would be of benefit to you, I'm ready to come; but you shouldn't feel any obligation or constraint. Life devolves by itself, naturally. I've been preparing the pdf files which I promised you of the correspondence between Grandma and myself in the years prior to our marriage. The compilation requires a bit of work since the pages were scanned individually and must now be concatenated, so that each letter is reproduced in but a single file. Otherwise, I've been working on my novel, the latest additions in English are accessible at http://home.earthlink.net/~ej1meyer/freunde/e049.html for Chapter 49, and http://home.earthlink.net/~ej1meyer/freunde/e050.html for Chapter 50. I'm not at all sure that reading them is worth your while; no explanations, not to speak of apologies required if you don't bother with them. I'll write again in a week or two. Just for the record, let me emphasize that although I always like to have a message from you, this letter does NOT require an answer. Love, Yoyo
