Summary:
MH is having dental trouble; JH talks about changing some of his plans saying 'The fact is I am a prisoner for life and know it.' But JH goes on to say that companionship means that he is not in solitary confinement. [It seems JH is giving up reading and research plans because of the needs of his family, but he does not regret it.]
