Dear Friends,
               I have taken 
                trouble with this solely in order to be able to figure correctly 
                and later on to instruct others to do so. As for [the avoidance 
                of] mistakes, so far as I am concerned I have really never had 
                to learn that. Even as a child I had such delicacy of feeling 
                that I exercised it without knowing that it had to be thus or 
                could be anything else --
