Dear Nikola,

a) Thank you very much for your confiding in me with such a long, detailed letter. I hope that writing it, was not oppressive but cathartic (purifying) for you. Please feel free to write as often, and and as frequently, to expand and elaborate on what goes through your mind, if such writing is helpful to you.  

b) If you would like to speak with meon the telephone, please feel free to call - 617-548-5768 - whenever you wish. I will always be happy to hear your voice, to exchange ideas and to share feelings.

c) In the context of our possibly conversing face to face, please be mindful that because the coughing and wheezing which has afflicted me for several months continues, I am quarantining myself. What risks, if any, of corona virus contagion you wished to take, is a subject for preliminary discussion on the telephone.

d) My communications with you are very meaningful to me.  I hope they are not burdensome or harmful to you. I thank you again for writing.  

e) My very best wishes to you.

EJM
