Dear Lisa, Thank you for your gracious comments about the correspondence between Marion and myself. Please feel free to print it out, if you wish, although I expect to continue making these Internet files available to any family member who wishes to read them. If you would like to make editorial changes or add comments, you may wish to use, instead of the .pdf file, the editable file: http://home.earthlink.net/~ej5meyer/MN_EJM_2009_06_01.odt to which you can readily add and from which you can readily subtract. Please note that in both files there is lengthy duplication of text (cf p. 26, p. 31) which I neglected to correct. Please feel free to do so, if it seems worth the effort. I infer that this duplication arose because when I compiled these pages, I negligently ignored the circumstance that in e-mail replies the original text is usually quoted. I look forward to meeting you and the rest of the family on Friday. With best wishes, Jochen
