"I must prolong our telephone conversation just to say as it were, Goodbye. But I say it as fathers would, in its beginning use- that is, as your father & mine would use it--for you brought me as much more yesterday than you knew in your remembrance of Marianne. I feel just as she does, that her closest friends must be protected from outlay on her behalf and not even be burdened with more things to dust and handle. (It is the unloved public we would tax--large hearted Christians that we are.)"
