Dear Donald, 

Thank you for your letter. The "Subject" of that letter is a request: "Please send me your home address in Florida where (I guess) you remain these days through the winter." I'm sorry I can't comply, because it's a misunderstanding.  I don't have a home in Florida. I've never been to Florida. The furthest south I've ever been was Myrtle Beach SC, and that was more than 77 years ago.

Because I can no longer climb stairs, for the past 8 months I've been trapped on the second floor at 174 School Street, Belmont MA 02478 617-548-5768, the address where you and Jan visited me in May 2021. It has been, as I may have mentioned, the most pleasant imprisonment imaginable, where I spend all my waking hours reading on the computer screen, and typing into the computer keyboard the ideas, excentric if not insane, which preoccupy my mind. I stay out of trouble by keeping them all to myself; but I take this further occasion to send affectionate Holiday wishes to yourself and Jan, with love from Jochen.
