To Ilona (23 September 1947)

My own -

Last night your cable arrived that we would stand together. The blood is not flowing from me anymore, my mind is healing up, I am myself again, I live, breathe, hope and work.

[258] My position at Columbia need not be [259] affected by the development since your visit to Canada with ____ about a ____ of normalization of the situation (my opponents will not be able to press the point and {tue}: you cannot make KP permanent, this decision is due very soon, since he cannot stay anyway his wife having stayed in Europe for good).

Your {wire} has also completely removed the hidden weakness of my position, and opened up the {proud/grand} avenue of for true solutions. Our life will widen out again as we are secure in one another.
