What happened, as you must realize now, was that we were writing about two very different things. My letter was (necessarily as I thought) about the market values of Here and Now; your reply was about the critical values of the ultimate Future. The "Here and Now" does crowd itself in sometimes. It did that, for example, when you wanted the cash from somebody for the two newspapers. It is bound to do it when people are trying, as I was in my letter to you, to get at?
