Acknowledging his letter and telling him not to think of Psyche while he is ill with a cough; explaining her previous letter to him (MA 2147.10) saying "What made me write was indeed impatience - there is no denying it - only not about the Drama. Do you know what it is to be shut up in a room by one's self, to multiply one's thoughts by one's thoughts - how hard it is to know what 'one's thought is like' - how it grows & grows, & spreads & spreads, & ends in taking some supernatural colour, ...just like mustard and cress sown on flannel in a dark closet? First I begin with the simple impertinence of wondering why you did'nt write to me - simple enough - altho' I dont call it altogether my own fault when I miss your letters - Then came the complex - perplexing in the extreme - I am very sorry about the cough. Do not neglect it lest it end as mine did - for a common cough striking on an i̲n̲s̲u̲b̲s̲t̲a̲n̲t̲i̲a̲l̲ frame began my bodily troubles - and I know well what that suffering is, though nearly quite free from it now. So let it be understood, consented & agreed to, & well approved on each side, that u̲n̲t̲i̲l̲ y̲o̲u̲r̲ r̲e̲t̲u̲r̲n̲ t̲o̲ L̲o̲n̲d̲o̲n̲, P̲s̲y̲c̲h̲e̲ i̲s̲ s̲u̲s̲p̲e̲n̲d̲e̲d̲. .
