This brings up one thing that was in your letter. I was never angry at Doris, and I did always know that she could not help doing what she did. Some of the things she did hurt me terribly, as you can imagine, so I did learn to be afraid of her as a burned child is afraid of the fire. I would have to be a saint if this were not so. But I can honestly say that I have always loved her and wished her happiness. I just could not stand being burned any more.
There is one more thing, and an important one. This second attack of irrational behavior, and Doris' failure to do anything fundamental about her condition, make it seem to me unwise to leave all your estate to her to deal with as she pleases. Just one attack like that when she has all of it in her hands could easily leave her with nothing from her inheritance. This last time she talked to me about all kinds of wild money-making schemes, like those exercise machines, which finally led her to losing what money she had invested in them. It was not serious this time but I am afraid of what might happen. I do hope you will put a good part of your estate into some kind of trust fund to give her an income. I will help you to do this if necessary, but I don't think it's difficult. Your bank should be able to do this for you.
I do hope you are well and happy, and enjoying the fruits of that wonderful garden. In spite of all these troubles life has given you some fine things and may you go on enjoying them for a long time.

Love,
Jack
