but Zoe won't mitmachen [join in]. she is too energetic to sit still
for long. Ena and I both feel the result of the sittings, and we find we
sleep more deeply than before, maybe also due to the Accu being in our

I have so many questions I want to ask you. About disease for one. I've

Good that Pete likes his school, but don't ask my advice about staying

am pretty certain. that none of them ever heard of your work.

intend to keep our hardworking people from protesting the action of
rats.
Would you be kind enough to let us know the exact title of your
lecture at the 1950 conference. The educational problem will be quite
