Since I can produce
no documentary evidence of my wisdom, of my wide reading and so
forth, I am sending you instead some documentary evidence of my
power of imagination - I wanted to visit you yesterday evening
but - fortunately I remembered in time that you are not at home
on Saturdays - I now fully realize - I must either go to
see you very often, or not at all - I do not yet
know which of the two alternatives I shall choose, but I am inclined
to think that it will be the latter - because I shall thereby
be freed at once from all obligation, that is to say the obligation
of visiting you.
Wholly
your
Bthvn
