Thank you for the CAHPS materials. I find them interesting
and important as documentation of efforts to calibrate feeling.
I was reminded of Elizabeth Barrett Brownings Sonnet as a 
monument of psychometric analysis:

    How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
    I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
    My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
    For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
    I love thee to the level of everyday's
    Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
    I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
    I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
    I love thee with a passion put to use
    In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
    I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
    With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath,
    Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose,
    I shall but love thee better after death.

I'd like to spend a few hours with Nunnally's book when I'm back
in Belmont. Please don't go to the trouble of mailing it. I don't
think my interpretation of psychometrics would be helpful to 
your work, so I'll keep my promise not to comment unless asked.

The lawsuit has taught me that the Court will disregard any of its
rules at its convenience. That's called "Equity jurisdiction". In
my case the Appeals Court has effectively set aside the procedural
law of G.L. 30A. I would never ask you to "represent" me; but you
are materially affected by the construction delay, you are (potentially)
a "real party in interest", you have every right to represent yourself
in court. Whether or at what juncture you wish to exercise that right
is a matter of your discretion. You might, if you wished, appear before 
the plumbing board as an appellant; you would then not only have the
right to intervene in my appeal, you would even have the right to file
an appeal of your own (not that this is what I would suggest).

The only certainty is that sooner or later I will be out of the picture,
and that procedurally it would be much simpler if you were a party before
I died than if you attempted to assert your legal rights after my death.
You must feel no obligation to me to pursue the litigation after I have died.
