8 October 26, 1960 Dear Hr* Leeman : First of all, please let me explain why your most welcome letter has remained so long unanswered* Since the early summer, circumstances related to a complicated family situation have led to anxiety and distress but I am now trying to face up to the fact that LIFE MUST &0 ON in spite of theur* This noble aphorism may come in handy during your exploration of the Anatomy of Melancholy, a literary enterprise that intrigues me tremendously* I would dearly like to know how you are going to approach it. M eanwhile, I will bone up on Mr. Butler the next time I go to the University Library and thus get ready to be an admiring and intelligent reader* More power to youJ You ask whether I "have Jlone anything more" about you know what* If I had tried to answer thirt j#ia«64©n a month ago, I should have had to tell you that this time EJ really had had it and must call it a day* How, I am not so sure* But, if I were to have another go at it, it ^m^ki^^m^^> » ^be from quite a different angle* Furthermore^ I should have to be completely free from all other obligations ~ especially from JPH* M ay I write about all this, perhaps at greater length, a little later on? Your letter made me homesick for the Laurentians* The colours are muted here although in Stanley Park the crimson thread of the vine maples stands out in vivid contrast to tfee sombre background of the Douglas firs* The autumn has been sunay and warm and my Christmas roses have prejiaturely burst into bloom instead of waiting for their appointed season* Hoping that all goes well with the settling-in process and with all good wishes
