Transvestia

share to the situation.

TVism is a burden of variable dimensions according to circumstances in any family. Naturally, my devotion and dedication to the problems that I set for myself in Chevalier provided some strains too. The associated pro- blems such as the Post Office trial, the court action brought against me by Bob (Barbara) and the resulting court appearances and worries were a big factor in her emotional upset. Then problems with my son (her step- son) became quite an acute focus of family discord. She is English and I American and tho it wouldn't seem so between two english speaking persons, the cultural diff- erences and expectations were not unimportant. We just operated on different levels in some matters. Finally the problems of middle age in women can sometimes be quite difficult. So there are many factors in this whole picture and it is just not true that TV was the whole bit. If it were she would have called it quits years ago.

Well, there are a lot of doctors who die of cancer even tho they have spent years trying to help others with the same disease, so I guess that's the way it is with me. But for heaven's sake don't believe that hogwash about my going to Casablanca that seems to be circulating a- bout! It will be a cold day in hell before I'm that foolish.. So now you know why this issue is days late and other things are unattended to. Moreover in a week or so I'll have to be moving this office which will put new strains on an already overtaxed situation, so understand and for- give, please, because there will be delays and confusions.

On top of the above situation my Mother is dying, my Dad has to go into the hospital and the bookkeeper in my regular business is quitting just before my secretary goes on a 2 week vacation. Anyone want to trade places?

Fortunately my problems will not slow down the shipping activities very much because they are carried on by Thea elsewhere. But my correspondence, editing, etc. is going to be severely curtailed till I get settled. Trying to move 5 years of files and accumulated papers etc. is not going to be easy.
