Marriage is a brutal reality.

My dear N., 29 September 1934
Thank you for your letter!
Marriage is indeed a brutal reality, yet the experimentum crucis of life.
I hope you learn to endure and not to struggle against the suppressing necessities of fate.
Only thus you remain in the centre.
I should like to come over to England once more.
But I find it exceedingly difficult to prepare new lectures.
I have almost no time.
Please give my best regards to Mrs. N.
Cordially yours,
