FINN,
I can well understand that for a while you should be too
agitated by what has passed to see your friends. Remember,
however, that you owe it to them as well as to yourself
not to sink into seclusion. Send me a line when you think
that you can come to me that I may be at home. My journey

doubt many will flock round you to congratulate you, and your first
half-hour will be disagreeable; but then the thing will have been
done. You owe it to your constituents to do so.
