But, if so, the good news is that he had a long time to be at one with his feelings as he lived another 16 years.

I’m wondering if he was able to find any larger paper to write on in that time. Guess I need to go check the Surrogates court for his records one of these days.

Maybe I’m being too Freudian, but it almost seems that, in the two years between 1918 and 1920, he had become a little more used to the idea of dying and the specifics of his bequest.
