From a Letter to Mrs. Harriet Nourse

... Oh, yes, I have made my will many times; but some man always

spoils it and I am obliged to make it over, I am not at all

superstitious about making a will. My only trouble is having nothing

to leave. I am fond of superstitions--the little ones. They give

interest to life, if you have to spend it in one place. A little

unreason is less monotonous than the eternally reasonable, and if it

makes you happy for a minute to see the moon over your right shoulder,

why not see it, and be unreasonably happy?
