Herta has been\nsinging your praises.

So he went\nand took the ram and offered it as a sacrifice\ninstead of his son.\" (Genesis,13-14,New Eng\nBible). Mrs. Wechsler has decided not to go\nahead with selling the house, on the strong advice\nof her son who xxx consulted a friend in the\nproperty business. She is now thinking in terms\nof next spring. Her resolve to go to the Tibetan\nCentre in Scotland remains of course\u2014 but she\nwon't go at any price,as I had feared. Now you\nknow I was moving heaven and earth to get that\nadvt into THE TIMES xxx xx xxx xxx xx xx xx and\nit was due to go in next Monday. Yesterday I\ncancelled it and arranged for a refund. I.think\nthe man behind the TIMES fiasco was my friend\nSherap,the monk,with his 5hrs daily meditation.\nI told Herta this and she fears that I may be\ndrawn into Buddhist monkhood. I told her I wpuld\nwillingly be a monk if my zzzzzz Abbot/Lama\nallowed me to have a woman,preferably German.\n\nArethusa arrives at midnight at Paddington.\n\nHave you had Joyce Cary's COCK JARVIS,an\nuncompleted novel ? What an enjoyable writer he\nwas. An Ulsterman in origin\n\nAdvice from WBY\n\nover\n","Type":"Text"}}]
