Correspondence from Karl Germer to Jane Wolfe
[10 April 1954]
As to my trip: this is the position. The doctor had always said it was only a second-grade burn—this only so as not to frighten me. He now told me it was a severe third-grade case. This explains why it takes so long to heal and is so extremely painful. This means that there is no way of telling when I could possibly get away. It now almost seems to me a case of interference by the H.G.A. [Holy Guardian Angel]. What I had planned to do is start at Easter on a strict Magical Retirement in primitive conditions on the desert. That is out in any case.
What I shall now probably have to do is make intensive attempts to sell the house. It is now the season and I must not miss it.
