"Il y a plus affaire a interpreter les interpretations, qu'a interpreter les choses, et plus de livres sur les livres, que sur autre subject: nous ne faisons que nous entregloser.  Tout fourmille de commentaires : d'autheurs, il en est grand cherte."

Michel de Montaigne, Essais III 13 (published in 1588)

 

Letters from Martha Gellhorn

Martha remained a good friend throughout her life (I was once summoned to Cadogan Square to give her a cooking lesson!) and would have written the Mzee many letters. These, curiously, were found amongst his brother's posessions after he died. How Morton came to have them is not known but he saw worth in them and they give a little snapshot of Martha's visits in late 1964 and early 1965
