Dear Mary

 I would have written far sooner but was punishing you for leaving my last letter so long unanswered. I am

always happy to get your letters. No one else writes such letters as you do and then I like to hear from you. If you are pesimistic I like that too for I thrive on pessimism. No one but idiots & dope fiends are optamists. I have been talking on Nietche & Schopenhauer & what a good time? was? it & I think the audience liked it too. Life goes on in the same way. Many erutns? lots of troubles to listen to some money but is hell to be the Genl Counsel
