Dear Peter, Thank you for your sympathetic letter. I don't think I should accept your offer to take me to the Memorial Service in Sharon on January 30. For several reasons: 1) you should be free to disengage yourself from this nadir of depravity either by leaving early or by refusing to come at all, while I must stay to hold Margaret's hand and comfort her while her soul is being raped. 2) this promises to be a tumultuous memorial service, since Margaret will scream while her soul is being raped, I will be sobbing, and I must expect, as soon as soon as they have finished with Margaret, Janet and Anne will toss both of us out into the freezing January air. It's also likely that there will be some concern that Margaret's screaming would attract the police, and Janet and Anne will eject me from the Memorial Service so that they can tape Margaret's mouth shut and so that her screams will no longer interfere with the pleasures the guests derive from what they are doing to her. All in all this will a memorable event the planing for which has already changed the lives of all of us. There's no telling where it will end. Happy New Year to you and your family! Jochen
