Correspondence from Karl Germer to Jane Wolfe
[Undated: circa late October 1952]
. . . I suppose I am expected to be the author who knows how to solve the conflicts, while my greatest gift is to create and increase them and their mutual friction to culmination,
Unless—unless, unless, it is my mission to be the instrument for giving the various parties involved the "LESSON OF BETRAYAL", which every candidate has to learn as one of the major ordeals. I have seen A.C. give this ordeal deliberately, with—in one case—terrible repercussion. You are the only one that I know who has an inkling of these problems. If you have any comment let me know.
