Dear Nathaniel,
I'm very much appreciative of and grateful for the affection and effort with which you and Sabine have been providing supper for me. My problem is that when I lie down within 6 or seven hours after eating, the acid contents of my stomach bubble back up into my esophagus and into my mouth. That's one of the things that happened last night burned my throat and kept me awake. To try prevent recurrences, I should not eat supper after 7 p.m. I have various items in the refrigerator and in the closet which I can prepare for myself, which will keep me from getting hungry. I ask that you and Sabine not change your supper schedule to accomodate my needs. It isn't necessary.  I thank you again. Love Jochen
