October 28, 2022 Dear Nikola, Thank you for your e-mail. I have been thinking of you often, and I very much hope that you are, and continue to be well. Nathaniel and Sabine are scheduled to return from Paris tomorrow, October 29. Sometime in November, I've forgotten the date, Nathaniel plans to fly to Prague to participate in a conducting competition. I suppose the date of his return will depend on his success. My walking, such as it is, seems to deteriorate from day to day. I distract myself by reading and writing. I consider myself very fortunate not to be bedridden. I could be much worse off. I look forward to another e-mail from you, and to talking with you upon your return. Meanwhile I send you my very best wishes. EJM
