Dear Henning,

To be a hermit is lots better than to hire a hermit, don't you think?

We are going to do lots of things here soon, and I will hide.

Finally I have made copies of my "Requiem for Wagner the Criminal Mayor." I am sending them. Also, I am sending the last of the Danger Musics, including the one for you.

Suddenly I am composing with real chords again. Maybe not for long, but for these few windy days I like it. Perhaps it has to do with becoming thin.

We are poor again, and so I am not fat like I was. It is good to be thin, except I don't like it when my teeth hurt. And I don't like to see Alison not eating what she should - we are going to have a baby in August. That will be nice. We are trying to choose names, it is not hard if we have a boy, but we cannot agree on girls' names. But I still have my studio - together we have huge spaces. And we are both well and happy.

Why doesn't anybody come from Denmark? You or Eric should come very soon.

Soon the sun will come again, soon the leaves will come out, the birds will fly back to the north. Soon the mushrooms will grow, and soon the bees will hum, and I.... Soon, the sun...

ALL POWER TO THE SUPREME SOVIET AND TO THE WORKERS' COUNCILS!
