I think we should make systematic efforts to make Marion's apartment livable
potentially for her, but more realistically for ourselves as a place to stay
when we visit her, if necessary renting storage space for items that Marion
wishes to keep. I will help as much as I can; I will make very effort not to
be in the way.

The most pressing task, as I see it, as detailed in my previous letter,
is to get Marion's liquid assets into trust accounts of which you are the 
co-trustee.

While Marion lives, I would give no thought to the hypothetical probate
of her will. After Marion has died, it may turn out that there are no
probate assets, and that probate is superfluous.  Should probate be required,
it is arguable that the will might be probated in Massachusetts on the ground
that Massachusetts is the domicile of 5 of Marions 6 potential legatees.
This topic should not be discussed while Marion lives. (I had myself appointed
administrator of Margrits estate (her will was lost by her attorney) 
in Abingdon not by claiming her (a Michigan resident), but by claiming 
myself to be a resident of Virginia. 

I read Marion's Trust and Will as reflections of her life in a concave mirror,
since the individuals closest to her, Micha, Barbara, Judy and her crippled
friend in France are excluded, (as am I) while she looks for potential help
(aside from yourself) to Rebekah and Nathaniel who cannot be presumed to have 
any strong personal attachment to her. Marion's relationships to her family 
are like a spinning roulette wheel. If she recovers from her present predicament
(which seems unlikely) you too will be replaced by a successor angel. If she
dies before replacing you, the roulette wheel will have stopped pointing to
you. Auch das ist Schicksal.
