I said you see things too simply, but on one point you were just plain right. Aaron should leave that stupid house, let it fall down and rot, and come back to this wonderful land to live out his days. His move there was stupid. His remaining there is imbecilic. If you can convince him of it—and I’m writing him a letter too—I’d feel a lot better about your coming back. But don’t just abandon him, sweetheart. Not yet. Wait till my plans jell a bit.
