(“Dear John,” I guess, in reverse?)
I’ve taken this much time to decide what to do, after getting your
wire, partly because I had to wait for Chris to get back, to know
if the suggestion Phil made would be all right--partly because I
just couldn’t think too clearly at first, after your wire came--and
partly, I have to admit, because I kept hoping I’d hear from you
again.
There doesn’t seem to be much point in hassling over anything. I know
you’re capable of sending a message like that in anger, and then
withdrawing it. But that’s the point--I know you’re also capable of
withdrawing it, which is saying quite a--
I said there was _no_ point in hassling, didn’t I? All that matters
now is that I’ve finally decided you really meant it. You don’t want
me to come back. I could hardly argue with that anyhow, but it’s also
possible you’re right--so I’ve decided, for the time being, anyhow,
to stay on up here. Phil needs an assistant to do the kind of dance
and music work I used to do with his therapy group in N.Y. And--well,
I like it here. As long as Chris is willing, I’ll stay put for the
time being.
If you want to get my stuff out, let me know and I’ll write Jeannie
or Edna to come take care of it.
Damn, I’m sorry it had to be this way. It’s _not_ what I wanted,
Johnny--
Love (still)
Lisa.
P.S. Only damn it, if you _do_ change your mind, or _have_ changed
it, you idiot--don’t wire--_call_!
