Dear Peter,

Thank you for your letter with its question about the proposed
family gathering at Sharon in January. Klemens won't come because
he is still mourning Margaret's death. I won't come without 
Klemens, but if I did come without Klemens, I certainly wouldn't
come without Margaret's ghost who like Banquo would explain to them 
that by purporting to be able to celebrate her memory in my absence
they were in fact presuming to be able to arrange for her a post-
humous divorce from me. She would be very angry and break up the
party, no, not like Banquo, but like an angel sent to overturn
the tables of the money-changers in the temple. Better put it off.
Hallowe'en is after all an annual event.

Best wishes to you and all your family.

Jochen
