Dear Cyndy,

Thank you for your letter. I've sent you copies of some e-mails which may
give you an idea about what's going on.So far as I know the family has given
up on a memorial service, which is probably just as well, since neither
Klemens or I would be capable of participating. That's all I'm able to
write about this subject.

So far as the sonnets are concerned, there are 45 of them now, and they're
not translatable. I don't suggest it, but the only way for me to make them
accesible to you would be to read them with you over the telephone, and
to explain word for word what I am trying to say.  I don't think it's
worth the effort.
  
I'm far from recovering from Margaret's death, but I've found an emotional
equilibrium which permits me to work, with the end, though perhaps just
around the corner, not yet in sight. We'll keep in touch. Meanwhile best
wishes to both of you.

Jochen
