My dearest Ruth -

You are the only person I have loved in my life, setting aside, a bit, parents and kids, and their kids, And I have admired and loved you almost since the day we first met at Cornell some 56 years ago. What a treat it has been to watch you progress to the very top of the legal world.

I will be in JH Medical Center until Friday, June 25, I believe, and between then and now, I shall think hard on my remaining health and life, and consider on balance the time has come for me to tough it out or to take leave of life because the loss of quality now simply overwhelms.

I hope you will support where I come out, but I understand you may not. I will not love you a jot less.

Marty
