Correspondence from Jane Wolfe to Karl Germer

 

     

 

 

[5 April 1952]

 

 

I was quite interested in Jack's [Jack Parsons] note which you quote, and I thank you for adding it to your letter. Jack spent three or more hours with me 3 Sundays ago. And for the first time I saw the child and meant to write you about it at the time. Your letter has added somewhat to the picture. Monday morning at the breakfast table I pondered why Jack's eyes, when addressing one, more or less constantly moved now here, now there, then back again, when speaking to one, as though avoiding the eye. Gradually I saw the child, one that had sustained many aches & pains, many rebuffs: that was still facing a, hostile world. (?) I am conscious of it but may not interpret correctly.
