O'Neill updates BR on his last visit to see John at Dora's flat, writing that "in a manner he is tense, edgy, and suspicious."

"I should judge that he is still very preoccupied with his own fantasies. He is at his best when his mother is giving him her undivided attention. He shows no initiative at all, and his only activity is reading. I thought his condition was static. He was not noticeably worse, nor was he much better."
