Dear E, Many thanks for your clear & constructive letter of demands. AS OF Dec 26/52 I am not very talented at lists, & I think especially on the human Relations Dept., it is difficult to list & measure exactly. But since you chose this method, I will try to use the same:

First of all I feel this whole thing is so simple it is almost ridiculous - you want love on your terms - I want it on mine - & neither of us has known how to give it [[strikethrough]] as the other [[/strikethrough]] with the manner that each one wants it. My insecurity has grown in proportion to the feeling of being unloved. Everyone normal needs love, but a neurotic person needs more than his share. If I get less than a normal amount, then I get sick, & I have been getting less, & therefore give less. & I, think its vice versa Well this is not the kind of list I planned — but this paragraph just nears in mind "which comes first, the chicken or the egg?" in other words whose going to love [[strikethrough]] to [[/strikethrough]] whom first, in the manner he or she wants?
